The population estimates for 2003-2006 inclusive are being revised at present and it is expected that the revised series incorporating the 2007 estimates will be published in December 2007. The estimated number of private households is taken from the Quarterly National Household Survey. Estimates for 2008 on a consistent basis are not available.
