Population forecasting

Population forecasting

See the future in sharper detail

We use our in-depth knowledge of people and places to forecast how populations will change over time.

Our independent population forecasts help local governments and businesses understand the impact of population change, ensuring resources are allocated in the right place, at the right time.

Small Area Forecast information

.id SAFi provides businesses with hyperlocal population forecasts

.id's detailed SAFi provides planners with detailed micro-geography level population forecast information that can be built up into custom geographic catchment areas.

Local government population forecasts

forecast.id helps local governments understand drivers of change

.id works with councils in Australia and New Zealand to provide population forecasts for local government areas (LGAs). These resources are made publically available to help community planners profile local areas and understand how they change over time.

Spatial population analysis

.id Placemaker is a web-based platform for location analysis and network planning

Combine your business/client data with granular demographic information and population forecasts in .id's Placemaker application to explore and discover unprecedented insights into supply and demand at a local level.

Enjoy the benefit of hindsight

Work with Australia's largest team of population experts

Granular insights

.id’s population modelling is built with hyperlocal dwelling and development inputs. Our population forecasts let you see information at a micro-geographic level so you can drill down to see how populations, housing and households will change in the smallest possible geographic areas by single years of age.

Team of expert forecasters

Australia’s largest team of population forecasters draw on detailed development and housing drivers to model demographic information into the future. Our close relationships with local government development gatekeepers and the development industry help us ground truth our assumptions.

Independent modelling

As the population experts, we provide independent forecasts used by businesses, organisations and local governments across Australia and New Zealand. We combine the best of ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ methodologies and modelling that is free from political aspirations.

Underpinned by living detail

Things change. That’s why we update our assumptions on a regular basis. Population forecast information is only as good its assumptions, so it makes sense to use information with inputs that are reviewed and revised regularly.
