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

Wyoming's population as of November 2025 is approximately 11,338, reflecting a decrease of 85 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 11,423. This change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 11,340 in June 2024 and an additional 5 validated new addresses since the Census date. The population density ratio is 1,353 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen 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 and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021.

Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas from 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 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 annually over the past five financial years, totaling 39 homes. As of FY-26, 2 approvals have been recorded. The population decline in recent years has maintained an 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 $216,000, which is below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers.

In FY-26, $2.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Sydney, where Wyoming has significantly less development activity (82.0% below regional average per person). This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. Nationally, this reflects the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 86.0% detached dwellings and 14.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving Wyoming'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 favorable conditions for buyers.

Wyoming showed strong specialization in health care & social assistance with an employment share 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical services had lower representation at 6.5% compared to the regional average of 11.5%. Employment opportunities appeared limited locally based on Census data comparison between working population and resident population. Over the 12 months 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% with unemployment rising by 0.3 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia, released in May 2025, project national employment expansion by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Wyoming's employment mix suggests local growth of approximately 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years.
