NSW population

| Note: | Population estimates as at 30 June each year. Where a bar does not have a segment for 2025, the number of people in that category is predicted to decrease by 2025. The predicted number is shown as a lighter coloured line on the overlying 2005 bar. Population components may not add exactly due to rounding. |

These population pyramids illustrate the very different population age structures, and patterns of population change, that are experienced in Local Government Areas (LGAs) across the state. Population pyramids for every LGA are available in this report.
In Bankstown LGA, the estimated residential population in 2005 was 175,007. This is projected to increase by an average of 0.26% annually, to around 184,500 by 2025.
In Byron LGA, the estimated residential population in 2005 was 31,721. This is projected to increase by an average of 1.56% annually to around 43,200 by 2025.
In 2005, approximately half of the Bankstown LGA population was aged 35 years or more. The median age predicted for 2025 is 39 years. In 2005, approximately half of the Byron LGA population was aged 40 years or more. The median age predicted for 2025 is 46 years.
