Success - Hammond Park

Success - Hammond Park lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

According to calculations by AreaSearch, the population of Success - Hammond Park stands at approximately 21,835 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 4,381 individuals (25.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 17,454 residents were recorded. This variance is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 21,561 combined with 512 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,464 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of all analyzed national territories. The expansion rate of 25.1% since the 2021 census outstripped the national benchmark (9.3%) as well as state trends, establishing the district as a regional growth leader. The expansion was chiefly fueled by international migration, which accounted for roughly 51.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though natural increase and interstate relocations also registered positive contributions.

For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 regions lack this data, and for projecting growth beyond 2032 across all sectors, AreaSearch applies age cohort growth rates from the latest Greater Capital Region projections published by the ABS in 2023, based on 2022 statistics. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, population growth is anticipated to exceed the national median, with the locality projected to add 4,991 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 21.6% over the 16 years.

Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $13.7 million this financial year, pointing to steady commercial construction activity.
