A population projection in the field of demographics is a estimate of a future population. In contrast with intercensal estimates and censuses which usually involve some sort of field data gathering, projections usually involve mathematical models only based on pre-existing data. A projection may be made by a governmental organization, or by those unaffiliated with a government.
