2014 NSW Population Projections

Data files and papers for the 2014 release of the NSW population projections.

These projections are an update of the 2013 preliminary NSW population projections and account for the impact of the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) decision to revise 20 years of historical population estimates for the period 1991-2011.

The 2014 projections also consider findings from the 2011 Census and the latest data and expertise on fertility, mortality and migration at the time of release.

These projections have since been superseded. The latest release is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024. The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections.

Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.
