Flip this switch
The next federal votes. Set each one to Yes, No or Undecided: the dashed line shows how the population curve would change, where a sourced estimate exists.
No reliable estimate None of the coming switches has a reliable estimate yet. The what-if line is therefore identical to the OFS/BFS reference scenario: flipping a switch does not move the curve.
Population to 2050: OFS/BFS reference scenario and your what-if
Population on 31 December. The dashed line adds the estimates of the switches you set.

Assumptions in this what-if
No assumption applied: the what-if line is the reference scenario.
How it works: an estimate gives the difference from the OFS/BFS reference scenario in 2050. The what-if adds it in equal steps from the year of the vote to 2050; the estimates of several switches add up. It is a what-if, not a forecast.
