ABOUT THIS DATASET

This dataset contains population projections at the capital city/balance of state level by single year of age (up to 85 years and over) and sex, for the period 2004–2051. These projections were produced by the ABS and published on 29 November 2005 in Population Projections, Australia 2004 to 2101 (cat. no. 3222.0).

Three alternative projections series (Series A, B and C in the table below) are presented in this dataset, with different combinations of assumptions on fertility, mortality, overseas migration and interstate migration. Assumptions used for all available series are detailed below:

(a) High and low interstate migration refer to high/low flow scenarios, and will therefore reflect high/low losses rather than high/low gains in some jurisdictions.

Capital city/balance of state projections were not generated for the Australian Capital Territory.
