Wyoming

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

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Wyoming stands at approximately 11,334 as of May 2026. This represents a reduction of 89 residents (0.8%) compared to the 11,423 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 11,329 from June 2025 alongside 5 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The current population size results in a density of 1,352 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical density found in other national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The primary contributor to population increases in recent times was overseas migration, which served as the sole source of population growth.

AreaSearch incorporates SA2 projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which utilize 2022 as their baseline year. For any SA2 regions excluded from this dataset, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. The growth trends by age cohort derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic models, the overall population is projected to drop by 230 people by 2041. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain age brackets, particularly the group aged 85 and over, which is expected to rise by 324 individuals. Further statistics can be found in the age section.

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

Wyoming has averaged approximately 7 residential building approvals annually, resulting in a total of 39 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. There have been 7 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Because the population has decreased lately, the volume of housing supply has kept pace with demand to support a balanced market with sufficient choices for purchasers, while the average construction cost for new dwellings sits at $216,000—a figure below the broader regional average—pointing to relatively affordable building opportunities. Additionally, commercial development has been quiet, with $2.2 million in commercial approvals registered during this financial year.

Compared to the broader Greater Sydney region, development activity in Wyoming is very low, tracking 82.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited addition of new housing stock generally helps support demand and property values for the existing housing supply. The rate also sits below the national benchmark, highlighting the established status of the locality and potentially indicating planning constraints. Recent building activity is composed of 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% multi-dwelling options like townhouses or apartments, sustaining the suburban character of the area which tends to draw buyers looking for land. With approximately 1754 residents for every new dwelling approved, the market shows a high degree of maturity.

Faced with projections of a steady or shrinking population, Wyoming is likely to experience reduced pressure on its housing market, which could benefit prospective purchasers.

Wyoming has moderate levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the 45thth percentile nationally

Local infrastructure projects, planning choices, and major developments are key factors in regional performance. AreaSearch has tracked a total of 25 projects expected to influence the local area. Some of the primary developments include the Wyoming Shopping Village Upgrade, the Narara District Master Plan, the Telecommunications Mobile Base Station, and the Henry Kendall Gardens Retaining Walls Replacement, with the most relevant ones detailed in the list below.

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

The local workforce is characterized by skilled workers, with strong representation in essential service fields, a jobless rate of 4.4%, and an estimated annual job growth rate of 3.5%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,431, while the local unemployment rate was 0.3% higher than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, and the labor participation rate of 61.3% was lower than the Greater Sydney average of 69.1%. Census data indicates that 30.5% of the local workforce worked from home, although these figures may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.

The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, where the local employment proportion is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 6.5% of local employment compared to 11.5% regionally. The data comparing local employment numbers with resident numbers suggests this residential locality offers fewer jobs within its borders.

Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw employment expand by 3.5% and the labor force grow by 3.4%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9%, labor force growth of 1.9%, and a slight drop in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected future labor demand in Wyoming. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment shifts. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the local employment distribution suggests Wyoming could see job numbers grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

Income figures position the area below 75% of locations analysed nationally by AreaSearch

According to the latest ATO postcode statistics for the 2023 financial year, taxpayers in the Wyoming SA2 recorded a median income of $48,794 and an average income of $61,486. These figures sit below the national benchmarks, and are lower than the Greater Sydney median of $60,817 and average of $83,003. Adjusting for a Wage Price Index increase of 10.32% since the 2023 financial year, current estimates point to a median income of $53,830 and an average income of $67,831 as of March 2026. Based on 2021 Census data, incomes for households, families, and individuals in Wyoming are modest, falling between the 27th and 31st percentiles. The largest income bracket contains 31.8% of taxpayers earning between $1,500 and $2,999 per week (3,604 residents), which is comparable to the 30.9% share seen across the wider metropolitan area. Financial pressure from housing is high, leaving residents with only 79.3% of their income, which puts the area in the 24th percentile and places its SEIFA income measure in the 4th decile.

Health performance in Wyoming is well below average with prevalence of common health conditions notable across both younger and older age cohorts

Public health metrics indicate notable difficulties for Wyoming, reflecting high mortality rates and chronic illness rates across different age cohorts, alongside a relatively low rate of private health insurance coverage, which stands at roughly 50% of the population (~5,644 individuals). In comparison, private health coverage is 59.9% across Greater Sydney and 55.7% nationally.
