Projected population by local government area and five-year age group and sex, Queensland, 30 June, 2006 to 2031

Presented in the Excel and CSV files at the bottom of this page are population projections by 5-year age groups and sex (males, females and persons) for Queensland local government areas based on the 2012 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

Population projections are based on assumptions concerning future fertility, mortality and migration patterns for each age group. Assuming low levels of growth (low rates of fertility, low life expectancy, low levels of in-migration and high levels of out-migration) will result in a lower total population being projected. The high series of population projections result from assuming high levels of growth. The low and the high series projections form the upper and lower limits of likely population futures. The medium series population projections are mid-way between these limits and generally form the most likely long-term scenario for population change.
