National Forecasting Program

Research and analysis for every region in Australia from the National Forecasting Program.

All the forecasting services from .id (informed decisions) are powered by data from our National Forecasting Program. This unique research project develops forecasts of population, housing and residential development for the Nation, each state and territory, each region, and detailed local area forecasts for each of the 15,000+ suburbs across Australia.

The program follows an annual cycle, with new forecasts completed one region at a time.
