As of Nov 2025, Wyee's population is estimated at around 3,539, reflecting an increase of 630 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 2,909. This growth represents a 21.7% increase and is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 3,391 residents following examination of ABS ERP data released in June 2024, along with an additional 346 validated new addresses since the Census date.

Interstate migration contributed approximately 90.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.
