This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Wiley Park has an estimated 10,721 residents, up from 10,135 at the 2021 Census — a change of 586 people, or 5.8%. Overseas migration accounts for 75.8% of that increase. That puts 7,713 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, Wiley Park has a population of approximately 10,721 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 586 people (5.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,135 residents. This demographic change is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 10,697 from June 2025 alongside 31 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Based on these figures, the population density stands at 7,712 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of all areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch and highlighting the competitive demand for local land.
The 5.8% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (5.2%), positioning the suburb as a local growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 75.8% of the total population increase during the recent timeframe. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 regions lack this data, AreaSearch utilizes projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. The age group growth rates derived from these sources are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth is projected to be slightly below the median of all regions assessed by AreaSearch, with the locality expected to add 1,335 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a 12.2% increase overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
80 new dwellings have been approved in Wiley Park over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
In Wiley Park, building approvals average approximately 16 dwellings annually, with 80 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 11 so far in FY-26. With an average of just 0.7 new residents added per year per completed dwelling during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing buyers with extra choices and potentially supporting population increases above current forecasts, while new dwellings are constructed at an average cost of $159,000—a figure below the regional norm—pointing to more budget-friendly options for buyers.
Additionally, commercial approvals totaling $4.5 million have been registered in the current financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the neighborhood. Wiley Park generates approximately half the volume of residential building approvals per capita compared to Greater Sydney, ranking in the 25th percentile of all localities evaluated nationally, which restricts choice for prospective buyers and sustains demand for established homes. This rate is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature housing market and pointing to possible constraints on new construction. The composition of new approvals consists of 64.0% detached houses and 36.0% townhouses or apartments, with this expanding variety of townhouses and apartments offering options across diverse price levels, from family residences to smaller, more affordable options. Interestingly, developers are focusing more on traditional houses than the historical housing mix reflects (30.0% at Census), showing that demand for family-sized housing remains robust despite density trends. With approximately 675 people per residential approval, Wiley Park shows the characteristics of a highly mature property market. Demographic projections indicate that Wiley Park is set to add 1,311 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates do not accelerate, residential supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting upward pressure on prices.

4,605 residents of Wiley Park are employed, from a labour force of 5,011. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 59.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,621, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Wiley Park is characterized by a well-educated labor force employed across multiple industries, with a jobless rate of 8.1% and an estimated annual employment growth rate of 3.3%. In March 2026, 4,605 local residents were employed, while the unemployment rate remained 4.0% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, highlighting potential for labor market improvement, and participation in the workforce was significantly lower (59.5% versus 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents worked from home (25.7%), though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions during this period should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing. The locality exhibits a strong concentration of employment in retail trade, with the sector's share of employment reaching 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 7.2% of the local workforce, which is below the 11.5% recorded in Greater Sydney. The highly residential character of the suburb appears to limit local job opportunities, as demonstrated by the discrepancy between the Census working population and resident population figures. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 3.3% while the labor force expanded by 3.8%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with unemployment decreasing slightly. Employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context on prospective labor demand in Wiley Park. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local occupation profile to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates of growth vary considerably by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment structure of Wiley Park yields an estimated local employment expansion of 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,135 at the 2021 Census → 10,721 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
