Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Hammondville's population is estimated at around 3,890 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 199 people (5.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,691 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,890, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,137 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Hammondville's 5.4% growth since census positions it within 1.3 percentage points of the state (6.7%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 59.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering the projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth of statistical areas across the nation is projected, with the suburb expected to increase by 840 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 18.7% in total over the 17 years.
