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 and to estimate post-2032 growth, AreaSearch uses growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections, released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Looking ahead, demographic trends suggest a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with an expected expansion to approximately 14,308 persons by 2041, reflecting a total increase of 12.4% over the 17-year period based on the latest annual ERP population numbers.
