ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION
Victoria's estimated resident population (ERP) at the end of any given period is the estimated population at the beginning of the period plus the sum of three components: natural increase, net overseas migration and net interstate migration.
In December quarter 2007, Victoria's ERP grew by 19,200 persons or 0.37% while over the same quarter, Australia's ERP grew by 0.40% or 84,700 persons.
The largest contribution to Victoria's population growth in December quarter 2007 came from net overseas migration (10,700 persons) followed by natural increase (9,900 persons). The growth in these two components was partially offset by a loss of 1,400 people through net interstate migration. Victoria has experienced a net loss of people to other states in eighteen of the last nineteen quarters with the exception of March quarter 2006 where its population gained 300 people through net interstate migration.
