Wynn Vale

Wynn Vale is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

The population of the Wynn Vale statistical area (Lv2) was estimated at 8,315 as of Nov 2025, based on ABS population updates and new addresses validated by AreaSearch. This figure reflects an increase of 450 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 7,865. The change was inferred from the resident population of 8,102 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024), along with an additional 8 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,881 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Wynn Vale's growth rate of 5.7% since census positions it within 1.5 percentage points of the SA3 area (7.2%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 60.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data, with adjustments made using weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering projected demographic shifts, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed is expected for the Wynn Vale (SA2), with an expansion of 417 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 1.8% in total over the 17 years.

Recent construction comprises approximately 95.0% standalone homes and 5.0% attached dwellings, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. With around 487 people per dwelling approval, Wynn Vale shows a developed market.
