This dataset presents the 2013 Edition of the Queensland Government population projections (Medium Series). These projections represent usual resident populations only and exclude visitors and temporary residents.
These population projections have been prepared using the latest available information at the time of preparation. Complete accuracy of these projections should not be assumed. Variation above or below the figures provided is to be expected, because projections rely on the accuracy of the assumptions used, as well as the quality of data on which they are based.
For more information, please refer to the Data Source.
