Victoria's Estimated Resident Population (ERP) at the end of any given period is the estimated population at the beginning of the period plus the sum of three components: natural increase, net overseas migration and net interstate migration.
At the end of March quarter 2008, Victoria's ERP was 5,274,400 persons and increased by 28,400 persons or 0.54% since the end of December quarter 2007. Over the same period, Australia's ERP grew by 0.48% or 102,000 persons. Victoria's ERP increased by 87,600 persons or 1.69% over the 12 months since the end of March quarter 2007.
The largest contribution to Victoria's population growth in March quarter 2008 came from net overseas migration (19,100 persons) followed by natural increase (9,300 persons). The level of net interstate migration in March quarter 2008 was zero persons. Victoria has experienced a net loss of people to other states in eighteen of the last twenty quarters with the only net gain being in March quarter 2006 where its population gained 300 people through net interstate migration.
