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

Based on ABS population updates and AreaSearch validations for the broader area, as of May 2026, the estimated population of the suburb of Wynn Vale is around 8,063. This reflects an increase of 198 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 7,865. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 8,047 following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2025, and an additional 9 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,824 persons per square kilometer, above the national average assessed by AreaSearch. Wynn Vale's 2.5% growth positions it competitively among SA3 areas, being within 1.6 percentage points of the SA3 area's 4.1%. Overseas migration contributed 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 by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted, based on 2021 data and adjusted using weighted aggregation methods. Projected demographic shifts indicate a population increase just below the median for statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, with an expected expansion of 385 persons to reach 8,448 by 2041, reflecting a total increase of 4.6% over the 16 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Wynn Vale according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Wynn Vale has recorded around 18 residential properties granted approval each year. Over the past 5 financial years, between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 94 homes have been approved, with an additional 29 so far in FY-26. The average number of new residents per year per dwelling constructed over these years is estimated at 1.8. However, this figure has intensified to 4.7 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating growing popularity and potential undersupply.

New properties are constructed at an average expected cost value of $299,000. In FY-26, $13.8 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, suggesting balanced commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Wynn Vale shows substantially reduced construction, with 50.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. Recent construction comprises 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 475 people per dwelling approval, Wynn Vale shows a developed market. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, the population is forecasted to gain 369 residents through to 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
