Hannans

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

As of Nov 2025, the estimated population for the Hannans statistical area (Lv2) is around 2,642. This reflects a growth of 232 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,410. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 2,614 following examination of ABS' ERP data release in June 2024 and address validation since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 667 persons per square kilometer. Hannans' growth rate of 9.6% since the 2021 census exceeded both its SA3 area (7.7%) and SA4 region, indicating it as a growth leader in the region. 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 a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, post-2032 growth estimates are being made using ABS' Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking ahead, the area is expected to grow by around 210 persons to reach a total population of approximately 2,852 by 2041, reflecting an increase of about 7.5% 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 from 2016 to 2020, averaging two approvals per year for a total of 14 dwellings. This low level reflects the rural nature of the area, where development is typically driven by local housing needs rather than broader market demand. The small sample size means individual projects can significantly influence annual growth statistics.

Hannans had substantially lower development levels compared to Rest of WA and was below national averages during this period. New building activity showed 50% detached dwellings and 50% townhouses or apartments, indicating a shift from the current housing mix of 85% houses due to reduced development sites and changing lifestyle demands. The estimated population density was 653 people per dwelling approval, reflecting its quiet development environment. Population forecasts indicate Hannans will gain 197 residents by 2041 (AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially increasing buyer competition and supporting price increases.
