Brief description
Data files and papers for the 2022 release of the NSW population, household and implied dwelling projections.The 2022 projections are an update of the 2019 population, household and implied dwelling projections and include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population change across NSW.
The 2022 projections form part of the NSW Common Planning Assumptions. They provide a consistent evidence base for NSW Government agencies to use in planning for key services and infrastructure in the state, from schools and hospitals to roads and transport.
These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024.
The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections.
Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.
