In financial year 2023, the number of people who received assistance from a homelessness agency in New South Wales, Australia, was around **** thousand. Between financial year 2014 and 2015, a significant increase in the number of people who received assistance from a homelessness agency in New South Wales occurred, when the number of them using assistance rose with about **** thousand people.

At December 2023, it was estimated that 7.3 percent of New South Wales residents were between 25 and 29 years old. Australia, like most economically developed countries, is expected to have an ever-increasing older population into the future.

Transport for NSW provides projections of population and dwellings at the small area (Travel Zone or TZ) level for NSW. The latest version is Travel Zone Projections 2024 (TZP24), released in January 2025. TZP24 replaces the previously published TZP22. The projections are developed to support a strategic view of NSW and are aligned with the NSW Government Common Planning Assumptions. The TZP24 Population & Dwellings Projections dataset covers the following variables:

Estimated Resident Population

Structural Private Dwellings (Regional NSW only)

Population in Occupied Private Dwellings, by 5-year Age categories & by Sex

Population in Non-Private Dwellings

The projections in this release, TZP24, are presented annually from 2021 to 2031 and 5-yearly from 2031 to 2066, and are in TZ21 geography. Please note, TZP24 is based on best available data as at early 2024, and the projections incorporate results of the National Census conducted by the ABS in August 2021. Key Data Inputs used in TZP24:

2024 NSW Population Projections – NSW Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure

2021 Census data - Australian Bureau of Statistics (including dwellings by occupancy, total dwellings by Mesh Block, household sizes, private dwellings by occupancy, population age and gender, persons by place of usual residence)

For a summary of the TZP24 projection method please refer to the TZP24 Factsheet. For more detail on the projection process please refer to the TZP24 Technical Guide. Additional land use information for workforce and employment as well as Travel Zone 2021 boundaries for NSW (TZ21) and concordance files are also available for download on the Open Data Hub. Visualisations of the population projections are available on the Transport for NSW Website under Data and research/Reference Information. Cautions The TZP24 dataset represents one view of the future aligned with the NSW Government Common Planning Assumptions and population and employment projections. The projections are not based on specific assumptions about future new transport infrastructure but do take into account known land-use developments underway or planned, and strategic plans.

TZP24 is a strategic state-wide dataset and caution should be exercised when considering results at detailed breakdowns.

The TZP24 outputs represent a point in time set of projections (as at early 2024).

The projections are not government targets.

Travel Zone (TZ) level outputs are projections only and should be used as a guide. As with all small area data, aggregating of travel zone projections to higher geographies leads to more robust results.

As a general rule, TZ-level projections are illustrative of a possible future only.

More specific advice about data reliability for the specific variables projected is provided in the “Read Me” page of the Excel format summary spreadsheets on the TfNSW Open Data Hub.

Caution is advised when comparing TZP24 with the previous set of projections (TZP22) due to addition of new data sources for the most recent years, and adjustments to methodology.

Further cautions and notes can be found in the TZP24 Technical Guide Important note: The Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure (DPHI) published the 2024 NSW Population Projections in November 2024. As per DPHI’s published projections, the following variables are excluded from the published TZP24 Population and Dwellings Projections:

Structural Private Dwellings for Travel Zones in 43 councils across Greater Sydney, Illawarra-Shoalhaven, Central Coast, Lower Hunter and Greater Newcastle

Occupied Private Dwellings for Travel Zones in NSW.

Furthermore, in TZP24, the Structural Private Dwellings variable aligns with the 2024 Implied Dwelling projections while the Occupied Private Dwellings variable aligns with the 2024 Households projections at SA2 level prepared by DPHI. The above variables are available upon request by contacting model.selection@transport.nsw.gov.au - Attention Place Forecasting.

The nCounter sensors count the number of Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices in a specified zone. An nCounter can report the number of mobile devices that enter a zone, that leave a zone and the dwell time (in minutes). This provides insightful data on number of people in an area.It provides an indication of trends, activities and events within access point areas.

This dataset presents projected household size for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). Household projections show the number of households that would form if demographic trends continue and if assumptions about living arrangements are realised over the projection period. A household is two or more people who share a dwelling (house, apartment, townhouse, caravan, etc.) and share food and cooking facilities, and other essentials. Household projections show the future number and type of households living in private dwellings. Private dwellings are self-contained accommodation such as houses, apartments, mobile homes or other substantial structures. It does not include accommodation such as boarding houses, nursing homes or prisons. The household projections also include the implied dwelling demand for those households. This is the likely number of private dwellings needed to accommodate future population-driven demand. For more information please read the Household Projections User Guide.Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

As of December 2023, the proportion of the Australian population that lived in New South Wales amounted to 31.3 percent. The Northern Territory had the least number of residents in the country, with less than one percent of the population residing there.

This dataset presents projected population by ages for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA). Population projections provide a picture of the population as it may develop in future years. They provide an indication of the size and age-sex structure of the future population if specified assumptions about future fertility, mortality and migration are realised. Population projections are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that future government policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors (whether in Australia or overseas) might have on demographic behaviour. For more information please read the Population Projections User Guide. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Population numbers are rounded to the nearest 50. They should not be taken to be accurate to that level of detail. The data has been transposed to present the population age groups as distinct columns and use a compulsory filter to select the projection year. This dataset only covers LGA which have a low population.

This dataset presents projected population following the three projection series - the main projection, a high and a low projection series for 5-year periods between the years of 2011 and 2036 for the state of New South Wales (NSW). The data is presented as aggregations following the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA).

The various projection series show the impact on the NSW population when the assumed levels of births, deaths and migration are changed.

• increasing the number of people with disability who make decisions about their supports

• preparing for the full rollout of the NDIS by July 2018.

The following table, produced by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) provides information on rates, trends and patterns in domestic violence incidents reported to, or detected by, the NSW Police Force for the period of 2017/18. The data has been aggregated to location following the 2018 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) edition of the Local Government Areas (LGAs). Domestic violence is a serious problem which impacts many NSW families. In 2012, an estimated 16.9 per cent of Australian women aged 18 years and over had experienced partner violence since the age of 15 years (ABS Personal Safety Survey 2012). Rate calculations should also be treated very cautiously for LGAs that have high visitor numbers relative to their residential population. This is because rate calculations are based on estimated residential population and no adjustment has been made for the number of people visiting each LGA per year. For the rate calculations, specialised population data were prepared and provided to BOCSAR by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). For more information please visit the BOSCAR Portal.

AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

LGAs which have populations less than 3000 has been suppressed to maintain confidentiality. Original data values of "n.c." have been set to null.
