Government population projections are based on trends over the previous five years. They therefore reflect recent changes but cannot allow for likely future changes (for instance, in the economy, house-building or migration levels). They can be useful indicators of the likely direction and pattern of change but are far less certain in terms of the size of change.
Projections of numbers of older people, especially 75+, tend to be the most accurate, since they are less affected by changes in migration patterns.
