Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, as of Nov 2025, the estimated population of Wynn Vale is around 8,151. This reflects an increase of 286 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 7,865.

This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,844 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Wynn Vale's growth rate of 3.6% since census positions it within 0.9 percentage points of the SA3 area (4.5%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the suburb 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, based on 2021 data and released in 2023 with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering projected demographic shifts, a population increase just below the median is expected for Wynn Vale, with an estimated expansion by 410 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 3.7% in total over the 17 years.
