For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch utilizes the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking at population projections moving forward, above-median population growth of statistical areas across the nation is projected, with the area expected to grow by 3,666 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 15.0% in total over the 17 years.
