POPULATION CHANGE

Population Change, Queensland

The preliminary estimated resident population (ERP) for Queensland was 4,473,000 at 31 December 2009, an increase of 106,600 (2.4%) since 31 December 2008. Queensland's population continued to record the second-fastest growth rate behind Western Australia.

Between the September 2009 quarter and the December 2009 quarter, 49% (11,100 persons) of the total population increase (22,500 persons) was due to natural increase (excess of births over deaths), 38% (8,500 persons) was due to net overseas migration and 13% (3,000 persons) was attributed to net interstate migration.
