Wyoming

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

Wyoming's population, as of November 2025, is approximately 11,338 people. This figure represents a decrease of 85 individuals since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 11,423 people. The estimated resident population was 11,340 as of June 2024, with an additional 5 validated new addresses since the Census date accounting for this change. This results in a population density ratio of 1,353 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth during recent periods.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are utilized. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Projected demographic shifts indicate an overall population decline over this period, with Wyoming's population expected to decrease by 194 persons by 2041. However, specific age cohorts are anticipated to grow, 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 per year over the past five financial years, totaling 39 homes. As of FY-26, 2 dwellings have been approved so far. 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 constructed at an average cost of $216,000, which is below the regional average, indicating more affordable housing options for buyers.

This financial year, Wyoming has registered approximately $2.2 million in commercial approvals, suggesting minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Sydney, where there is significantly higher development activity per person (82.0% above Wyoming's average). The scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties in Wyoming, which also reflects below-average national levels, possibly due to planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 86.0% detached dwellings and 14.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. With around 1752 people per dwelling approval, Wyoming indicates a highly mature market with stable or declining population forecasts, potentially creating favourable conditions for buyers in terms of housing pressure.

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