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.

Since 1960, age distribution across Australia's population has observed a fairly significant change. The share of the population below 14 years has dropped from over 30 percent to less than 20 percent; while the share aged over 65 has almost doubled. However, Australia's under-14 population is still larger than its over-65 population. The bulk of the population is aged between 15 and 64 years, and this group had its largest share of the population in 2009 when it made up over two-thirds of the entire population. This gradual change has come as a result of decreasing fertility and higher life expectancy, causing the average age of the population to rise.

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

This spread sheet shows ABS geographic standards from 2006 across Australia and the % of the 15-64 year old population within each Socio-Economic Indexes for Individuals (SEIFI) IRSAD group. The data used to create this information was the same as used in the research paper “Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas: Getting a handle on individual diversity within areas” by Phillip Wise and Rosalynn Mathews. It is advised that this paper is read to further develop an understanding of the concepts and caveats associated with the analytical output contained in the spreadsheet.] Roughly, the most disadvantaged 10% of the 15–64 year old population falls into group 1, whilst group 10 contains the most advantaged 10%. The smallest group in terms of 15–64 year old population proportion is group 6 with 7.78%, compared to group 7 with the largest percentage at 12% due to clustering at this point in the distribution of scores. Group 1 – Approx. 9.6% of the 15-64 year old population Group 2 – Approx. 10.0% of the 15-64 year old population Group 3 – Approx. 11.5% of the 15-64 year old population Group 4 – Approx. 8.6% of the 15-64 year old population Group 5 – Approx. 11.4% of the 15-64 year old population Group 6 – Approx. 7.8% of the 15-64 year old population Group 7 – Approx. 12.0% of the 15-64 year old population Group 8 – Approx. 9.1% of the 15-64 year old population Group 9 – Approx. 9.5% of the 15-64 year old population Group 10 – Approx. 10.5% of the 15-64 year old population
