Hannans

Hannans has shown very soft population growth performance across periods assessed by AreaSearch

As of November 2025, the estimated population of Hannans is around 2,625, reflecting an increase of 215 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 2,410. This growth represents an 8.9% increase and exceeds the SA4 region's growth rate of 7.6%. The estimated resident population of 2,596, used to calculate this figure, was derived from AreaSearch's examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and address validation since the Census date. This level of population results in a density ratio of 662 persons per square kilometer. Natural growth contributed approximately 60.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year.

For areas not covered by this data and post-2032 estimations, AreaSearch uses growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking ahead, population projections indicate a growth of 210 persons to 2041, reflecting an increase of 8.2% over the 17-year period.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Hannans according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Hannans experienced limited development activity, averaging one approval per year between 2016 and 2020, resulting in nine dwellings over the five-year period. This low level of development reflects Hannans' rural nature, where housing needs typically drive development rather than broad market demand. The small sample size means individual projects can significantly influence annual growth statistics.

Development levels in Hannans are substantially lower than those in Rest of WA and below national averages. New building activity consists of 50% detached dwellings and 50% townhouses or apartments, indicating a shift from the current housing mix of 85% houses. This change reflects reduced development site availability and addresses shifting lifestyle demands and affordability requirements. As of 2021, Hannans has an estimated population density of 581 people per dwelling approval, reflecting its quiet development environment. Population forecasts indicate Hannans will gain 214 residents by 2041, potentially leading to housing supply shortages if current development rates continue, which could heighten buyer competition and support price increases.

Population forecasts indicate Hannans will gain 214 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
