The City of Hume population and household forecasts are undertaken by .id, informed decisions, on behalf of the City of Hume.

During the forecast modeling process, .id assesses what is driving population change in the area and forecasts how the age structure will change as a result.

Forecasts are only as good as the assumptions they are based on, and.id works closely with the council to ensure we have detailed information about current and planned residential development activity. The forecasts are updated on a rolling cycle to take into account changes in the real world. All assumptions, as well as the results of the forecasts, are made available in this site.

The forecasts were last updated in February 2023. Forecasts are available for City of Hume and small areas for each year from 2021 to 2041.

The forecasts are designed to provide community groups, Council, investors, business, students and the general public with knowledge to make confident decisions about the future.
