The Population Projections Dashboard

The Population Projections dashboard provides information about the predicted future population for Tasmania’s regions.

Detailed future population information is provided, including for children, males and females, median age, and people over 65 years. A range of predicted populations (high, medium and low) are provided, with values provided for every year until 2053.

The Population Projections dashboard can be used to answer demographic questions such as:

• In my local government area, how will the proportion of people who are of working age change over the next 5 years?

• Which areas in Tasmania are likely to experience the most demographic aging?

• Which areas are likely to see the largest increase in number of children?

By providing answers to these types of questions, the population projection dashboard can be used by governments, local councils, businesses, planners and other community members to prepare for and adapt to future population changes.
