title: Projections of households and household populations by household size propensities.
abstract: "This paper describes a method for constructing projections of numbers of households of various types and the numbers of people in that structure.  The method uses the concept of household size propensity.... Using data from the 1981 and 1986 Censuses and population projections to the year 2011, the method produces projections of Australian households and household populations by size of household for five-year intervals from 1991 to 2011."
