Census update #2                   
November 2012

online forecast.id updates...      

 

forecast.id is a local-area population forecast prepared by .id, in conjunction with the local council.   
 
The forecasts provide a comprehensive 25-year horizon of forecast population change, including single year of age, gender, household type, residential development and the components that contribute to that population change. 

 
Following the publication of the 2011 Census data, we have begun to update all the population forecasts for forecast.id clients.

The desktop forecast.id updates use the latest 2011 ERP figures to establish a new baseline for the forecasts, and we've made good progress so far.    
                  

To date, we have updated 22 forecasts, including the following sites:
    • Bayside
    • Hobsons Bay
    • Taree
    • Mandurah
    • Boroondara
    • Fairfield
    • Wyong
    • Joondalup
    • Latrobe
    • Blacktown
    • Eurobodalla
    • Bankstown
    • Wanneroo
    • Queanbeyan
    • Corangamite
    • Rockingham
    • Auburn
    • Murray
    • North Sydney
    • Subiaco
    • Nedlands
    • Wollongong  
You can access all the forecast.id sites at .id's online

Each site has been funded by the local council to support evidence-based decision making in their area.
 
 

More training videos available 


During October we continued to build our online training library, with three new videos now available to view.

   

1. The first one is an overall summary of the profile .id tool, which is pitched at a level perfect for new council employees, new users or just those needing a quick refresher.  (5 minutes)

  

2. The second video is a geography tutorial - it explains how to use the geography in profile.id to help you find relevant information about the small areas/suburbs within your local government area, and make comparisons against selected benchmarks. (4 minutes) 
 
3. The third video describes the toolbar feature, which quickly enables you to select small area geography, benchmark comparison, type of population measure and comparison time frame, all on the same page as your selected data. (5 minutes)

We aim to produce 4 online training videos per month so please check back for more in the near future.
