Get a more granular view of population and housing forecasts in your community by dividing your LGA into custom smaller areas that make sense to you.
Comprehensive methodology incorporates council policies and plans to deliver more accurate, locally-relevant forecasts.

A credible and respected forecast that combines local planning insights with nationwide population forecasting. Understand the local area in its regional and national context.
.id Population Forecasts have been shown to be more accurate than state government population forecasts because we work with local governments to inform the assumptions.
Our forecasting presents only the most likely population and housing scenarios, avoiding selective use of different modelling scenarios by interest groups.
Reflects the populations, dwellings and household outcomes based on local government policies, providing independent monitoring of the impacts of these policies.
We continually monitor and update our forecasts in line with changing local and wider policies, to ensure you’re working with the most accurate information.
Beyond your council team, members of the public and business can also access our powerful insights to make informed decisions and get answers to common demographic questions.
First, discuss your needs with our forecasting experts. We’ll share insights and development assumptions from our National Forecasting Program and help you get set up with the right tools that serve your needs.
Next, we define your local geography, customised to whatever boundaries make sense for you.
Then we’ll get your site live and let you know when it’s ready to use. We’ll organise training to help you and your team get the most out of it.
Ongoing, we provide updates, support and training as necessary. Contact us to get started.
