Population projections Overview
Statistics providing a broad overview of Queensland's projected population change at state and region levels, including an analysis of the age composition of the future population. Reference information regarding the research processes, methodology and assumptions used to produce these projections is also available.
Additional reports and tables are available on the following related pages:
- State - Queensland–level projected population data by five–year and single–year age groups and sex
- Regions - projected population by age and sex for Queensland regions.
