This dataset presents a summary of the projected population for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). Population projections provide a picture of the population as it may develop in future years. They provide an indication of the size and age-sex structure of the future population if specified assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration are realised. Population projections are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors (whether in Australia or overseas) might have on demographic behaviour. For more information please read the Population Projections User Guide. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Population numbers are rounded to the nearest 50. They should not be taken to be accurate to that level of detail.

This dataset presents projected population following the three projection series - the main projection, a high and a low projection series for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). The various projection series show the impact on the NSW population when the assumed levels of births, deaths and migration are changed. Population projections provide a picture of the population as it may develop in future years. They provide an indication of the size and age-sex structure of the future population if specified assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration are realised. Population projections are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors (whether in Australia or overseas) might have on demographic behaviour.

This dataset presents a summary of the projected number of households for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). Household projections show the number of households that would form if demographic trends continue and if assumptions about living arrangements are realised over the projection period. A household is two or more people who share a dwelling (house, apartment, townhouse, caravan, etc.) and share food and cooking facilities, and other essentials. Household projections show the future number and type of households living in private dwellings. Private dwellings are self-contained accommodation such as houses, apartments, mobile homes or other substantial structures. It does not include accommodation such as boarding houses, nursing homes or prisons. The household projections also include the implied dwelling demand for those households. This is the likely number of private dwellings needed to accommodate future population-driven demand. For more information please read the Household Projections User Guide.Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Household and dwelling numbers are rounded to the nearest 50. They should not be taken to be accurate to that level of detail.

This dataset presents projected population by ages for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). Population projections provide a picture of the population as it may develop in future years. They provide an indication of the size and age-sex structure of the future population if specified assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration are realised. Population projections are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors (whether in Australia or overseas) might have on demographic behaviour. For more information please read the Population Projections User Guide. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Population numbers are rounded to the nearest 50. They should not be taken to be accurate to that level of detail. The data has been transposed to present the population age groups as distinct columns and use a compulsory filter to select the projection year. This dataset only covers LGA which have a low population.

Export DataAccess APIThe NSW population projections are a scenario based on available evidence. They are not a target or a representation of Government intent. They represent possible demographic futures based on the best assessment of how the NSW population may change over time, including population size, age profile and residential location. The projections reflect current planning frameworks and strategies in place, and the potential demographic outcomes of contemporary decisions. They represent a basis from which to plan from.Population projections provide a picture of the population as it may develop in the future. They indicate an area’s likely population size, and its age and sex profile. Understanding these changes is essential to making informed planning decisions for the State’s future. These projections are used as a common framework across NSW Government. They inform planning policy decisions around infrastructure and service delivery such as the provision of hospital beds, school classrooms, roads and public transport. Future decisions, such as infrastructure investments and land use plans, will change future population patterns including growth and distribution. These projections do not change the current visions set out in Regional Plans or affect local plans and strategies such as Local Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statements and Local Housing Strategies.MetadataContent Title2022 NSW Population Projection at 2041Content TypeOtherDescriptionNSW population, household and implied dwelling projections are produced by the Department of Planning and Environment on behalf of the NSW Government.
