Homo sapiens; growth slowing toward a projected peak
Oceania · Australia/New Zealand
Australia is recorded at 26.71m people in 2024, with total annual change of +263,518 under the WPP medium variant.
Australia observed 2023 population pyramid, grouped into five broad age bands from WPP single-age male and female arrays.
Population identity: births minus deaths plus net migration equals total change within the Record tolerance.
