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, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Examining future population trends, a population increase just below the median of locations outside capital cities is expected in Maryville, with an expected growth of 322 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 14.0% in total over the 17 years.
