Statistical Area - sa2

Wyoming has shown very soft population growth performance across periods assessed by AreaSearch

Wyoming's population, as of August 2025, is approximately 11,341 people. This figure represents a decrease of 82 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,423. The change is inferred from ABS's estimated resident population of 11,343 as of June 2024 and an additional five validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,353 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch uses NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Projections indicate an overall population decline of 194 persons by 2041, but growth is anticipated in specific age cohorts, notably the 85 and over age group, which is projected to expand by 345 people.

The level of residential development activity in Wyoming is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Wyoming has received approximately 7 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling 39 homes. As of FY-26, 2 approvals have been recorded. The population decline in recent years has maintained adequate housing supply relative to demand, resulting in a balanced market with good buyer choice. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $268,000, which is below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers.

This financial year has seen $2.2 million in commercial approvals, indicating minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Sydney, where Wyoming has 82.0% less development activity per person. This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. Nationally, Wyoming's development activity is also below average, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 86.0% detached dwellings and 14.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. With around 1752 people per dwelling approval, Wyoming reflects a highly mature market.

Given stable or declining population forecasts, Wyoming may experience less housing pressure in the future, creating favourable conditions for buyers.

Wyoming has seen below average employment performance when compared to national benchmarks

Wyoming's workforce is skilled with well-represented essential services sectors. The unemployment rate was 4.6% in June 2025, showing a 1.8% employment growth over the previous year.

In comparison to Greater Sydney, Wyoming had an unemployment rate of 4.6%, which was 0.4% higher than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. The workforce participation rate lagged significantly at 54.8%, compared to Greater Sydney's 60.0%. Leading employment industries among residents were health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Wyoming showed strong specialization in health care & social assistance with an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level.

Conversely, professional & technical services had lower representation at 6.5% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. The area appeared to offer limited local employment opportunities based on Census data. Over the year to June 2025, employment increased by 1.8%, while labour force grew by 2.7%, resulting in an unemployment rise of 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 2.6% and unemployment rose by 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May 2025 projected a 6.6% increase over five years and 13.7% over ten years for national employment. Applying these projections to Wyoming's employment mix suggested local growth of approximately 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, based on simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes.
