Welcome to John Widmer's Population and Planning Web

This website is committed to the tradition first enunciated by Galileo Galilei.  He believed that discussion without measurement cannot be regarded as "scientific".  My apologies to Galileo that his name has now been appropriated by the "climate deniers".

The 2021 Census is now out .. do your precinct "address" searches from here!  Look at the population changes in your neighbourhood.

Further detailed analysis of population estimates methodologies used by the City of Melbourne are available from the author if you wish to contact him directly.
