The population of the Currans Hill statistical area (Lv2) was estimated at around 6,085 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 544 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,541. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,943 based on the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024), along with an additional 44 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,685 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Currans Hill (SA2) experienced a growth rate of 9.8% between the 2021 Census and November 2025, exceeding both the SA3 area's 6.9% growth and the state's growth rate, making it a regional growth leader during this period. Interstate migration contributed approximately 47.0% of overall population gains in recent periods, with natural growth and overseas migration also being positive factors.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 are utilized. These projections indicate that the Currans Hill (SA2) is expected to grow by 1,876 persons to 2041, reflecting an increase of 35.1% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Currans Hill recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval data indicates Currans Hill had approximately 11 new home approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling around 59 homes. As of FY-26, there have been 5 approvals recorded. On average, each home built between FY-21 and FY-25 was estimated to accommodate 19.5 new residents annually. This suggests demand significantly exceeds supply, which typically drives price growth and increased buyer competition.

The average construction cost of new dwellings in the area is $360,000. In FY-26, there have been $146,000 worth of commercial approvals registered, indicating the residential nature of Currans Hill. Compared to Greater Sydney, Currans Hill has a substantially reduced rate of construction, at 54.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new dwellings often strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. The area's recent construction primarily comprises standalone homes (93.0%) with a smaller proportion of medium and high-density housing (7.0%), reflecting its suburban identity and popularity among buyers seeking space.

With approximately 650 people per dwelling approval, Currans Hill exhibits a highly mature market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Currans Hill is projected to add around 2,135 residents by 2041. If current development rates persist, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting stronger price growth.
