The Waikato Projections (2018-2068) have been completed. The updated Waikato Projections 2023-2073 based on the 2023 census will be released by end of 2025. These projections provide modeled future projections for social (population, households, labour force) and economic (value add, employment by sector) indicators based on most up to date social, economic and land use data (e.g. 2018 census outputs, current district plan zoning, latest economic data).
These projections provide a robust and consistent set of data for policy and planning across the Waikato Region. Projections are provided for three different growth scenarios (low, medium and high).
The 2018 Waikato Projections are available to view and download.
