NSW DPIE - Projections 2016 - Average Household Size (LGA) 2011-2036

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).\n\nHousehold 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nFor more information please read the [Household Projections User Guide](https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Research-and-Demography/Demography/Population-projections/Household-Projections-User-Guide).Please note: \n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the [original data](https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Research-and-Demography/Demography/Population-projections).\n
