Projected Population by Statistical Local Area (SLA), 2011 to 2031

Dataset Number2015
Dataset TitleProjected Population by Statistical Local Area (SLA), 2011 to 2031
CustodianData Authority: Department for Trade and Investment
Data Provider: Department for Trade and Investment

Description

DescriptionMedium series estimated resident population projections by Statistical Local Area for five-year intervals, 2011 to 2031. The projections are based on the 2011 Census of Population and Housing and supersede those published in 2010. Statistical Local Area projections are based on the South Australian Cabinet approved medium series of South Australian Statistical Division projections that were released in September 2015. Assumptions, qualifications and background information is provided on the DPTI population projections and demographics webpage at http://www.saplanningportal.sa.gov.au/population_projections_and_demographics#population-projections-for-sa-and-statistical-divisions-2011-2041
UsageUsed for mapping projected population size, distribution and projected change by Statistical Local Area (2011 census boundaries).

Data Quality

LineageSince 1978 the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) and its predecessor agencies have produced population projections for South Australia at the all-of-State, statistical division and local area levels. Projections were constructed using the cohort component method. In this method the populations at the time of the 2011 Census for each geographic area and for each single year of age by sex are projected forward year by year by applying assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration. Statistical Local Area projections are based on the South Australian Cabinet approved medium series of South Australian Statistical Division projections that were released in September 2015 that are available for download from the Department's website at http://www.saplanningportal.sa.gov.au/population_projections_and_demographics#population-projections-for-sa-and-statistical-divisions-2011-2041. Of the three projection series (high, medium and low) published by DPTI at the all-of-State and Statistical Division level, the medium series is regarded as the most likely outcome with the high and low series being included at the all-of-State and Statistical Division level to enable agencies to manage risks if a population trend emerges that is higher or lower than the medium series. Assumptions, qualifications and background information is also provided on the DPTI webpage in the Report on Population Projections for South Australia and Statistical Divisions 2011-2041 (PDF, 2122 KB)
