Data files and papers for the 2019 release of the NSW population projections. These projections are an update of the 2016 NSW population projections. They also account for findings from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing and final Estimated Resident Populations (ERPs) published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. In addition, they include the latest information about births, deaths and migration at the time of release. These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections. Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.

Data files and papers for the 2014 release of the NSW population projections. These projections are an update of the 2013 preliminary NSW population projections and account for the impact of the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) decision to revise 20 years of historical population estimates for the period 1991-2011. The 2014 projections also consider findings from the 2011 Census and the latest data and expertise on fertility, mortality and migration at the time of release. These projections have since been superseded. The latest release is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections. Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.

Data files and papers for the 2005 release of the NSW population projections. These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections. Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.

Data files and papers for the 2013 release of the NSW population projections. The scheduled release of a 2013 set of NSW population projections had to change after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) announced a major review of its local area population estimates back to 1991. This is because the ABS had introduced improved methodology which is making its data more accurate. Releasing a special set of preliminary projections in 2013 gave users of NSW population information more up-to-date data to inform decision making while a full review was finalised. The finalised set of NSW population projections was released in 2014. These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections. Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.

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 by ages for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW).

For more information please read the Population Projections User Guide. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. The data has been transposed to present the population age groups as distinct columns and use a compulsory filter to select the projection year. Population numbers are rounded to the nearest 50. They should not be taken to be accurate to that level of detail.
