Sales Detail
Wiley Park has an estimated 10,594 residents, up from 10,016 at the 2021 Census — a change of 578 people, or 5.8%. Overseas migration accounts for 74.0% of that increase. That puts 7,790 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
Analysis of population updates from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Wiley Park is approximately 10,594 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 578 people (5.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,016 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 10,570, which AreaSearch estimated using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with 30 validated new addresses added since the Census date.
With these numbers, the local population density reaches 7,789 persons per square kilometer, placing the area within the top 10% of national locations evaluated by AreaSearch and highlighting local land as a highly-coveted resource. The 5.8% expansion in the suburb of Wiley Park since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 area (5.2%), positioning it as a regional growth leader. This population rise was mainly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 74.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch applies the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections at the SA2 level from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented instead. Projected age-group growth rates derived from these datasets are also applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb of Wiley Park is projected to experience population growth slightly under the national median for statistical areas. Aggregated SA2-level projections indicate the locality will add 1,317 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 12.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
80 new dwellings have been approved in Wiley Park over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 1.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area data, residential development in Wiley Park has averaged approximately 16 new dwellings annually, resulting in an estimated 80 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. During the current FY-26 period, 11 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of only 0.7 people moving to the locality per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the supply of new housing is matching or exceeding demand, providing buyers with diverse options and establishing room for population growth beyond predicted levels.
Concurrently, new dwellings are being constructed at an average cost of $275,000, which sits below regional averages and offers more economical options for buyers. Commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $4.5 million, reinforcing the area's predominantly residential character. In comparison to Greater Sydney, building activity per person in Wiley Park is at approximately 56%, placing it in the 29th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which translates to fewer options for home buyers and reinforces demand for established properties. This construction rate is also lower than the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market and highlighting potential planning limits. Standalone houses account for 67.0% of new developments, while attached dwellings make up 33.0%, with an expanding range of townhouses and apartments offering varied price brackets from family residences to affordable, compact alternatives. New construction projects lean more toward detached houses than current occupancy patterns show (29.0% at Census), indicating persistent demand for family residences despite rising density. With an average of around 600 people per approval, Wiley Park presents as an established, mature locality. Projections indicate Wiley Park will gain 1,293 residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the addition of new housing may fail to match population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting upward pressure on home prices.

Services are scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026, with a target opening of September 2026, after delays attributed to industrial action and the complexity of converting a 130-year-old line.
4,549 residents of Wiley Park are employed, from a labour force of 4,949. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 59.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,523, about 80% 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
Wiley Park has a workforce characterized by strong educational credentials and representation across diverse industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 8.1% and an estimated job growth rate of 3.4% over the past year, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 4,549 employed residents. The local unemployment rate is 4.0% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, indicating potential for labor market improvement, while the participation rate is notably lower (59.5% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney). Census data indicates that a significant 25.6% of residents worked from home, although this figure likely reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing. The community has a particularly high concentration of workers in retail trade, which is 1.8 times the regional average. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 7.3% compared to the regional benchmark of 11.5%. Given the comparison between the Census working population and resident population, this residential enclave appears to provide few local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 3.4% and the labor force expand by 3.8%, which led to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force growth of 1.9% and 1.9% respectively, alongside a minor drop in unemployment. Future local employment demand can be interpreted alongside Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts released in May-25. These five-year and ten-year national projections have been combined with the local industry profile to estimate future growth trends. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth varies. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests employment for Wiley Park residents would grow by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for comparison that does not incorporate local population 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 — 30 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,016 at the 2021 Census → 10,594 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.
