In June 2022, it was estimated that around 7.3 percent of Australians were aged between 25 and 29, and the same applied to people aged between 30 and 34. All in all, about 55 percent of Australia’s population was aged 35 years or older as of June 2022. At the same time, the age distribution of the country also shows that the share of children under 14 years old was still higher than that of people over 65 years old. A breakdown of Australia’s population growth Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world, yet with a population of around 26 million inhabitants, it is only sparsely populated. Since the 1970s, the population growth of Australia has remained fairly constant. While there was a slight rise in the Australian death rate in 2022, the birth rate of the country decreased after a slight rise in the previous year. The fact that the birth rate is almost double the size of its death rate gives the country one of the highest natural population growth rates of any high-income country.
National distribution of the population Australia’s population is expected to surpass 28 million people by 2028. The majority of its inhabitants live in the major cities. The most populated states are New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. Together, they account for over 75 percent of the population in Australia.

As of June 2023, in the Australian Capital Territory, about 8.9percent of the population was between 30 and 34 years old. In comparison, just 1.6 percent of the population was over the age of 85.

The projections are based upon actual values obtained in 2015, and estimates obtained for 2016. A full list of all projections, including historical projections, can be found at http://apps.treasury.act.gov.au/demography/projections/act.

These population projections are not intended to present predictions of the demographic future to any degree of reliability or precision. The population projections contained here are the projected population resulting from certain assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration trends.

Future population trends are influenced by a variety of social, economic and political factors, with significant fluctuation in short-term population growth rates as well as in the underlying social, economic and political influencers. Numerous behavioural assumptions are required to be made for each age cohort and sex. Many of these assumptions will be swamped by the random impacts on the future movements of individuals through births, deaths, and relocation.

The number of social media users in Australia was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 2.1 million users (+8.55 percent). After the ninth consecutive increasing year, the social media user base is estimated to reach 26.68 million users and therefore a new peak in 2029. Notably, the number of social media users of was continuously increasing over the past years.The shown figures regarding social media users have been derived from survey data that has been processed to estimate missing demographics.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).Find more key insights for the number of social media users in countries like Fiji and New Zealand.

With 109.9 men per one hundred women in the city, the greater Darwin area in Australia has the highest sex ratio. This is in stark contrast to the demographics of the other major cities in Australia which have more women than men. This is consistent with the fact that more than two thirds of all women between 25 and 64 participating in the workforce.Despite this fact, there is still some disparity between men and women in high level position as women are multiple times more likely to be sexually assaulted while men are much more likely to be victims of murder.The perpetrators of crimes are also much more likely to be men as there are

Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3)

Statistical Areas Level 3 (SA3s) provide a standardised regional breakup of Australia. Their boundaries are constructed by grouping together whole Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s) that share certain characteristics. For example, an SA3 may represent the functional area of a regional town, within which most people work and live.

Some SA3s are also constructed to match administrative boundaries and may contain one or more State Regional Development Areas or Local Government Areas (LGA).

Using SA3s with Census data

As LGA boundaries can change each Census year, using SA3s in urban areas allows for a more accurate comparison over time.

This dataset is the March 2022 release of Geoscape Buildings. Buildings is a spatial dataset which represents Australia's built environment derived from remotely sensed imagery and aggregated data sources. The Buildings dataset has relationships with the G-NAF, Cadastre, Property and Administrative Boundaries products produced by Geoscape Australia. Users should note that these related Geoscape products are not part of Buildings. For more information regarding Geoscape Buildings, please refer to the Data Product Description and the June 2022 Release Notes. Please note: As per the licence for this data, the coverage area accessed by you can not be greater than a single Level 2 Statistical Area (SA2) as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. If you require additional data beyond a single SA2 for your research, please request a quote from AURIN. Buildings is a digital dataset representing buildings across Australia. Data quality and potential capture timelines will vary across Australia based on two categories, each category has been developed based on a number of factors including the probability of the occurrence of natural events (e.g. flooding), population distribution and industrial/commercial activities. Areas with a population greater than 200, or with significant industrial/commercial activity in a visual assessment have been defined as 'Urban' and all other regions have been defined as 'Rural'. This dataset has been restricted to the Canberra East SA2 by AURIN.

Unemployment Rate in Australia remained unchanged at 4.10 percent in February. This dataset provides - Australia Unemployment Rate at 5.8% in December - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

According to a survey conducted in February 2023, 17 percent of Australian respondents from Generation Z identified television as their primary news source. In contrast, 43 percent of participants from Generation Z stated that social media was their primary source of news.

 News sources in Australia

To stay informed about current events, Australians use diverse media sources, both online and offline. As of 2022, traditional news sources such as television and radio remained important. Approximately 42 percent of Australians accessed news through television on a weekly basis. Social media has also emerged as a prominent news source in recent years. As a result, mobile devices have become a popular medium for accessing information. According to a digital news survey conducted in February 2022, approximately 62 percent of Australian respondents accessed news through their mobile phones. This suggests a shift in news consumption patterns, highlighting the need for news organizations to adapt to the evolving media landscape in Australia.

Trust in Australian media sources

Trust in the news has become a significant concern in Australia. A news consumption survey conducted in February 2022 showed that approximately 41 percent of respondents had confidence in the trustworthiness of news most of the time, while 30 percent of respondents indicated a lack of belief. Low trust can be attributed to factors such as misinformation, biased reporting, and a lack of transparency in news organizations. Building credibility and maintaining accuracy in news reporting will be essential to maintaining public trust in the Australian news landscape as traditional media gradually falls out of favor and digital platforms become more influential.
