AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Anticipating future population dynamics, exceptional growth is predicted over the period with Angle Vale expected to grow by 3,140 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 16.0% in total over the 17 years.
