In the second half of 2018, the population of NSW surpassed the 8 million mark. This milestone has been somewhat overlooked in the current discourse around the challenges associated with rapid population growth in Australia. For the last decade, the population growth rate in NSW has been at or around the national average. But don't let this fool you - the volume of growth has exceeded 100,000 persons per annum since 2013. This milestone was only reached twice prior to 2000. This blog looks beyond the growth rate to examine the dynamics of population change in NSW.

The Maori population in Australia
One of the great attributes of Census data is the ability to look at the characteristics of Australia's ethnic communities. In many cases there is simply no other data source available. Ethnic communities are typically measured through birthplace, language and/or ancestry, and Census data has the added advantage in that many variables can be cross-tabulated to provide rich insights into these communities. This blog uses 2016 Census data to examine some of the characteristics of the Maori community in Australia.
