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.

Sales Detail
Wingham has an estimated 5,503 residents, up from 5,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 108 people, or 2.0%. Density is about 89 people per 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
Demographic evaluations by AreaSearch indicate that Wingham has a population of approximately 5,503 as of Aug 2026. This represents a 2.0% expansion (+108 people) above the 5,395 people counted in the 2021 Census. This calculation is derived from the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,437 combined with 53 validated new addresses recorded following the census. With 89 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains a low population density that offers ample personal space alongside future development capacity. While the broader SA3 region grew by 4.1%, Wingham's 2.0% post-census gain sits within 2.1 percentage points of that benchmark, highlighting solid underlying demographic momentum.
Interstate migration served as the principal growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 38.8% of aggregate population additions over recent timeframes, supplemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections generated jointly by Geoscience Australia and the ABS (released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year) are adopted by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented where needed by NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year). Age-cohort growth trajectories from these datasets are extended across all areas for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, population gains are slated to align with the lower quartile of regional Australian benchmarks, with Wingham forecast to gain 98 persons through to 2041 based on recent annual ERP counts, representing an overall increase of 0.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
57 new dwellings have been approved in Wingham over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Wingham have averaged roughly 11 dwellings annually, culminating in 57 homes over the prior 5 financial years. Amid recent population contraction, this influx of housing supply has likely tracked demand sufficiently to provide solid purchasing options, with new homes registering an average expected build cost of $363,000 in line with wider regional norms. Alongside this, commercial planning approvals generated $4.0 million during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the local economy. Relative to Rest of NSW, local construction volumes are subdued, tracking 56.0% below regional averages on a per-capita basis.
Such constrained building volumes commonly support asset values and underpin demand across existing residential stock. This output also trails national benchmarks, indicating local market maturity alongside potential zoning or planning restrictions. Furthermore, all recent building activity has centered entirely on standalone houses, preserving low-density streetscapes and catering to buyers prioritizing residential space. Indicative of this subdued building setting, the region currently registers 547 people for each dwelling approved. Based on recent quarterly calculations by AreaSearch, Wingham is anticipated to add 32 residents by 2041. Given prevailing construction pipelines, residential delivery appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, ensuring balanced market conditions for purchasers and establishing a framework that could facilitate growth beyond current projections.

Wingham Central Park Master Plan
Adopted master plan guiding the future development of Wingham Central Park, a heritage-listed public recreation reserve. The plan incorporates extensive community feedback and features a covered performance stage, walking path with white picket fence, zero-depth water feature, relocated playground with shelter, and Aboriginal heritage interpretive sculptures. Park edges will be graded down to road level, returning to the original design. Adopted by MidCoast Council on 23 July 2025, implementation is subject to external grant funding.
Wingham Urban Release Area 1 Planning Proposal
Planning proposal for a residential urban release area on a 63.56 ha site about 500 m north of Wingham town centre. The proposal would rezone RU1 Primary Production land to R1 General Residential, C2 Environmental Conservation and C4 Environmental Living, enable future housing on the R1 land, set a 450 sqm minimum lot size for R1 land, apply an 8.5 m height limit to the residential area, protect constrained land along Cedar Party Creek and support delivery of a draft voluntary planning agreement and access upgrades including Wingham Road works.
Pacific Highway - Harrington Road Interchange
Major interchange project with overpass bridge connecting Harrington Road and Coopernook Road over the Pacific Highway. Joint Australian and NSW Government investment to improve road safety, traffic flow and travel times. Will benefit Old Bar residents accessing major transport corridors.
Manning River Underbore - New Water Supply Pipeline to Wingham
Installation of a new flood-resilient water pipeline under the Manning River via directional drilling to restore permanent water supply from Bootawa Water Treatment Plant to Wingham. The project involved drilling a 750-meter path deep beneath the riverbed to replace the 1960s-era pipeline damaged during the May 2025 floods. This permanent solution ensures water security for Wingham and Taree, moving away from the emergency reverse-pumping solution used during the recovery phase.
Euca Valley Residential Subdivision
Euca Valley is a staged residential subdivision on 86.5 hectares at Kolodong Road, Taree, between Taree and Wingham. Originally approved for 478 lots in October 2022, a modification application was lodged in September 2023 seeking to increase the total to 529 lots, with the current approved figure understood to be approximately 525 lots across 19 stages. Lot sizes range from 450 to 1,740 square metres. The development includes new parks, walking trails, and key infrastructure works including a roundabout at the Wingham Road and Kolodong Road intersection.Construction is underway with homes completed and sold on-site from 2025.
Old Bar Sewer Pump Station 8 and Associated Mains
Construction of a new sewer pump station, rising mains, gravity mains and associated water reticulation works to service growth in Old Bar Precinct 2B between Red Gum Road and Forest Lane. The works connect the new OB-SPS-08 facility to the Old Bar Sewage Treatment Plant, divert flows from OB-SPS-03, reduce wet weather overflow risk and improve the resilience of Council's sewer network.
Bushland Health Regional Seniors Community
Bushland Health's $133 million proposal for a regional seniors community comprising 207 self-care dwellings in duplex typologies of two or three bedrooms. Staged masterplan development by Bushland Health Group, which has been serving the Manning Valley aging community for nearly 60 years with 350 dedicated staff serving 500+ residents across multiple facilities.
Cedar Party Creek Bridge Replacement
A $40.7 million project that replaced the 127-year-old Cedar Party Creek Bridge at Wingham's town entrance with a new elevated concrete Super-T bridge designed to meet or exceed the 100-year flood level. The scope included demolition of the existing timber bridge, construction of a temporary detour road with creek crossing, new road approaches, a roundabout at the Wingham Road and Wynter Street intersection, utility relocations, and restoration of Chrissy Gollan Park. Despite record-breaking floods in May 2025 that inundated the site and paused works for 15 days, construction progressed with minimal delay.Bridge construction was completed on 16 November 2025 and the bridge is now open to traffic, with an official opening held on 8 December 2025. Works to restore and improve Chrissy Gollan Park are now underway.
2,237 residents of Wingham are employed, from a labour force of 2,366. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 52.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Wingham's labour market displays an even split across blue-collar and white-collar roles, with a solid footprint in essential services and an unemployment rate of 5.5%. As of March 2026, total employed residents stand at 2,237, with the local jobless rate sitting 1.3% above the 4.1% recorded for Regional NSW, while labour force participation is notably lower at 52.6% versus 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census returns indicated that just 6.1% of workers worked from home, although these figures were subject to Covid-19 lockdown conditions. Wingham's primary resident employment sectors comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing.
The local economy exhibits an exceptional concentration in health care & social assistance, capturing an employment proportion 1.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for a smaller footprint of 3.6%, compared against the 7.5% regional benchmark. Comparing resident headcount to local working populations at the Census highlights a constrained supply of jobs within the immediate area. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics, the year leading to March 2026 saw the local labour pool contract by 3.4% alongside a 3.9% reduction in overall employment, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded a 0.9% drop in employed persons and a 0.4% contraction in the labour pool, alongside a matching 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment prospects in Wingham. These five- and ten-year forecasts, when applied across the community's occupational distribution, help map potential trajectories. Nationwide employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across industries. Applying these sector weights directly to Wingham's occupational profile indicates projected local employment expansion of 6.5% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighting model that excludes local demographic projections).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Wingham is $1,105 a week (about $57,000 a year), with median personal income at $577 a week.

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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,395 at the 2021 Census → 5,503 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 Aug 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.
