Sales Detail
Wangi Wangi has an estimated 3,080 residents, up from 2,920 at the 2021 Census — a change of 160 people, or 5.5%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 842 residents on each 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Wangi Wangi's population is estimated at around 3,080 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 160 people (5.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,920 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,078, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 20 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 841 persons per square kilometer, which is relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Wangi Wangi's 5.5% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the Rest of NSW (4.9%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 53.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. As we examine future population trends, lower quartile growth of Australia's non-metropolitan areas is anticipated, with the area expected to grow by 18 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 0.5% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
35 new dwellings have been approved in Wangi Wangi over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential construction statistics mapped from regional data, the suburb of Wangi Wangi has recorded approximately 7 yearly residential approvals, amounting to an estimated 35 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 19 building approvals have been logged. With an average of 5.1 additional inhabitants per annum for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), building supply is heavily trailing demand, a situation that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives upward price movement, while new homes carry an average construction value of $679,000, indicating that developers are targeting the high-end market with premium housing options.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $2.7 million have been registered throughout this financial year, pointing to a quiet commercial construction sector. Wangi Wangi exhibits low building volumes when contrasted with Rest of NSW, sits 73.0% under the regional average per resident. This undersupply of fresh housing inventory normally underpins demand and supports pricing for established properties. This rate is similarly below the nation-wide benchmark, indicating the suburb's mature state and potentially pointing to planning constraints. In addition, recent construction is composed entirely of separate houses, preserving the local low-density aesthetic and emphasizing family-sized properties that appeal to buyers wanting space. The ratio of 470 residents for every single approved dwelling highlights the suburb's quiet, slow-growth development landscape. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Wangi Wangi will add 16 residents up to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Looking at current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this growth, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing population expansion to surpass these forecasts.

The building height of 12.22 metres exceeds the development standard by 2.2 metres to accommodate flood-level requirements for ground-floor apartments. The project includes communal open space and additional setbacks to southern boundaries to maintain solar access and privacy for neighbouring properties.
1,322 residents of Wangi Wangi are employed, from a labour force of 1,389. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 51.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,626, about 85% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce is characterized by high skill levels and solid representation in key service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.8% derived from regional data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 1,322 local residents were employed, representing an unemployment rate that sits 0.7% higher than the Regional NSW baseline of 4.1%, while local participation in the workforce is substantially lower, at 51.6% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census figures indicate that a moderate 24.5% of working locals did their jobs from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The suburb has a notable concentration in the construction sector, employing workers at a rate 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, farming, logging & fishing accounts for only 0.6% of the workforce, which is lower than the Regional NSW average of 5.3%. The largely residential character of the suburb appears to offer few jobs within its borders, as demonstrated by the imbalance between local workers and resident employees. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding region show that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the size of the labor force remained unchanged, showing stable growth of 0.0%, while total employment contracted by 2.3%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 2.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. National labor projections published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate potential long-term trends for Wangi Wangi. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will experience varied paths. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggest employment for the suburb would rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local demographic forecasts.

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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,920 at the 2021 Census → 3,080 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 May 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.
