(a) Usual resident households including non-classifiable households.
(b) Boundaries are based on the 2011 edition of the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).
(c) Average household size is calculated by dividing the total population (including those in non-private dwellings) by the number of households.
(d) The 2006 figure is an estimate based on estimated resident population (ERP).
(e) Projections of living arrangements, household types and dwellings were not undertaken for the 17 LGAs with a predominantly Indigenous population. Total households only have been projected in these areas, and this figure has a high degree of uncertainty associated with it. The high incidence of multi-family dwellings, the impact of housing programs and other factors means that the determinants of change in household numbers and dwelling stock are less closely linked to population change in these 17 LGAs compared to other LGAs.
(f) Queensland figures may not equal the sum of components because of rounding.
   
Caution
These household projections have been prepared using the latest available information at the time of preparation. 
Accuracy to the last digit of these projections should not be assumed. Variation above or below the figures provided is to be expected, because projections rely on the accuracy of the assumptions used, as well as the quality of data on which they are based.
  
Explanatory Notes
The household projections presented here are based on the Queensland Government population projections, 2011 edition (medium series).
Information regarding the methodology used in the preparation of these projections is available in the report Queensland Government household and dwelling projections, 2011 edition, on the OESR website: http://www.oesr.qld.gov.au
