.id’s National Forecasting Program helps organisations plan for the future by understanding the timing and location of future growth. Our independent forecasting reflects the most likely population and housing outcomes based on the latest data from a range of trusted sources. We create consistent national forecasting using the same methodology and outputs for any location across Australia, down to a micro-geographic area, to show where change is happening.
BENEFITS
The National Forecasting Program is created by our team of specialist demographers and development researchers using current information and modelling to predict the most likely housing and population outcomes.
Enhance your in-house modelling with detailed forecast data, updated monthly to capture change in fast-growing locations. Our clients rely on the National Forecasting Program for critical decisions and planning for electoral boundaries, utilities, schools, retail locations and emergency services.
Flexible microgeographic forecasts enable custom forecast catchments for any size project. Our consistent national dataset makes it easy for national retailers and utilities to plan and compare growth forecasts across state borders.
The National Forecasting Program powers all .id forecasting products and services for government and business.

A lot can happen in five years – which is how often many publicly-available forecasts are released. The National Forecasting Program follows a unique model that provides up-to-date forecasts every month, a region at a time, focusing on the fastest-changing areas.
We review our ‘top-down’ national and state models every year, accounting for the latest demographic information including births, deaths and migration, and the impact of changing economic conditions, like major projects.
We monitor the factors that would impact the forecast for an area to inform our forecast update roadmap. This means our forecasts are more responsive to new information, including policy changes, zoning and development, to ensure you’re making decisions using the most accurate and up-to-date predictions.
With each region release, our forecasters publish written analysis and regional forecast data. Our map shows the currency of our forecasts with links to the analysis for each region.
