Victoria in Future 2008 is the official population projection set of the State of Victoria. Projections have been released four times, beginning with Victoria in Future 1997. The data provide an insight into the likely future size, location and structure of our population, as well as components of population change (births, deaths, migration) and the way we form households, given assumptions about the continuation of current societal, economic and demographic trends.
