An increase in Tasmania's population growth has been one of the more interesting trends in the last few years. Between 2011 and 2016, the annual average growth rate in Tasmania was just 0.2% per annum, but since 2016 it has been 1.1% per annum. Higher levels of migration, both from interstate and overseas, have been the driver of this change. But are all areas sharing in this growth? This blog will look at historical trends as well as spatial patterns of population change in Tasmania.

Queensland's shifting population
This is a follow up to last week's blog, which looked at population growth trends in Greater Brisbane. When I was conducting my analysis, it struck me that Greater Brisbane had a slightly smaller population than the rest of Queensland. A quick look at the numbers showed that the populations were converging. In 2019, the population of Greater Brisbane was 2.51m, compared to 2.58m in rest of Queensland. However, if current trends continue, Greater Brisbane will have a larger population than the rest of the state by the mid-2020s.
