AreaSearch is using 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. Considering projected demographic shifts, Oxley Park is expected to increase its population by just below the median of statistical areas across the nation by 2041, with an expected increase of 571 persons reflecting a total increase of 9.8% over the 17 years.
