Key Highlights

  • .id (informed decisions) has teamed up with Archistar to integrate SA2-level population and dwelling forecasts from .id’s National Forecasting Program into Archistar’s property development platform archistar.ai
  • Through this integration, Archistar users can now access detailed forecasts of population change and housing (dwelling) projections for any Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) across Australia spanning the years 2024 to 2029 
  • The combined platform enables users to overlay demographic forecasts with site-specific property data—supporting tasks like spotting high-growth areas, comparing SA2 growth potential, framing broader market context, and enabling early-stage feasibility and market analysis using reliable projections 
  • .id’s National Forecasting Program stands out with its independent, comprehensive approach—covering the full housing supply pipeline in Australia and offering granular, nationally consistent predictions for population, age, housing, and development trends

We're excited to announce a new partnership with Archistar that will bring forecasts from .id's National Forecasting Program directly to their property development platform. Through this integration, Archistar users can now access SA2-level forecast data for population and dwelling changes across Australia for the next five years (2024 to 2029).

Haven't heard of Archistar? Here's a quick intro.

Archistar is a property technology platform that simplifies the planning and development process. It combines architectural design tools, planning regulations and property data in one place, using AI and 3D design technology to help users assess and design development sites. The platform is used by property developers, architects, real estate agents and local governments across Australia to streamline their research and decision-making processes.

  • Compare growth potential across different SA2 regions
  • Assess the broader market context for development opportunities
  • Support initial feasibility studies with reliable population projections
  • Fast-track preliminary market analysis with ready-to-use forecast data

  • Detailed forecasts for the timing and sequence of specific developments
  • Custom forecast catchments built from SA1 (and smaller) forecast areas
  • Forecasts for any year from 2021 to 2046
