WA Tomorrow Report 12 - SA2 Forecasts (DPLH-111)
Published by Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage
Description
WA Tomorrow is a series of population forecasts for the State of Western Australia based on historical trends. The forecasts represent the best estimate of future population size if trends in fertility, mortality and migration continue. WA Tomorrow uses a hybrid geography, but reflects as closely as possible the current Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2021, produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (See Geography tab). The forecasts refer to the 30 June in each stated year. WA Tomorrow includes three forecast bands (Lower, Central, Upper), indicating three probable futures. For the user who requires the best estimate of future population size, the central forecast should be used. For further information please consult the WA Tomorrow 12 website
