AreaSearch adopts 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 used. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. According to these projections, Hassall Grove's population is expected to decline by 261 persons by 2041. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, with the 75 to 84 age group projected to grow by 210 people over this period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Hassall Grove, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Hassall Grove has experienced around 18 dwellings receiving development approval each year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 90 homes. So far in FY-26, 11 approvals have been recorded. The population has fallen during this period, yet housing supply has remained adequate relative to demand, creating a well-balanced market with good buyer choice. New properties are constructed at an average value of $254,000, below regional norms, reflecting more affordable housing options for purchasers.

This financial year, $919,000 in commercial approvals have been registered, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Hassall Grove records 58.0% more development activity per person, providing buyers with ample choice. New development consists of 88.0% detached houses and 12.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 301 people per dwelling approval, indicating a low density market.

With population projections showing stability or decline, housing demand pressures in Hassall Grove should remain reduced, benefiting potential buyers.
