VIC DELWP - Victoria in Future 2015 - ERP (VIFSA) 2011-2031

This dataset is the 2015 release of the Victoria in Future (VIF) series of data and presents the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) for each year from 2011 to 2031. The data is presented in 2015 Victoria in Future Small Area (VIFSA) boundaries.\n\nVIFSAs are:\n\n * Smaller than LGAs and fit entirely within them.\n\n * Large enough to avoid the uncertainty attached to some projections at SA2 level.\n\n * As far as possible distinct from ABS classification, so as to avoid confusion and misinterpretations.\n\nVictoria in Future is the official state government projection of population and households. Projections are based on trends and assumptions for births, life expectancy, migration, and living arrangements across all of Victoria.\n\nFor more information please visit the [DELWP VIF Portal](https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/land-use-and-population-research/victoria-in-future).\n\nPlease Note: \n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.\n\n * The data tables have been condensed to one dataset to allow a longitudinal analysis of the data through year-period filters.\n\n * The results are driven by assumptions concerning demographic and land-use trends. Projections are based on the latest (30 June 2014) population estimates from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). \n\n * Victoria in Future 2015 population projections are not predictions of the future nor are they targets.\n
