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

As of Feb 2026, the estimated population of the suburb of Wynn Vale is around 8,315. This figure reflects an increase of 450 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 7,865. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of 8,102 residents following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and validation of eight new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,881 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Wynn Vale's growth rate of 5.7% since the census positions it competitively within 1.5 percentage points of the SA3 area (7.2%). The primary driver for this population growth was 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 by this data 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, the suburb is expected to increase its population by just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch, expanding by 406 persons to reach 8,721 by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an overall increase of 1.7% over the 17-year period.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Wynn Vale recorded around 18 residential properties granted approval each year. Approximately 92 homes were approved over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, and 15 so far in FY-26. On average, 1.2 people moved to the area per dwelling built annually over these five years.

This suggests a balance between supply and demand, indicating stable market dynamics with an average new home construction cost 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 reduced construction levels, 52.0% below the regional average per person, which typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This activity is also below national averages, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. Recent construction comprises 95.0% standalone homes and 5.0% attached dwellings, sustaining Wynn Vale'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. Population forecasts indicate Wynn Vale will gain 144 residents by 2041, and at current development rates, new housing supply should meet demand comfortably, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.

As of September 2025, there are 4,375 residents in work.

The unemployment rate is 1.4% below Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.9%, and workforce participation is at 66.4%.

In contrast, accommodation & food employs just 4.5% of local workers, below Greater Adelaide's 6.8%. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Between September 2024 and September 2025, employment levels increased by 1.1%, and labour force increased by 1.0%, resulting in unemployment falling by 0.2 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Adelaide where employment rose by 3.0%, the labour force grew by 2.9%, and unemployment fell by 0.1 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 suggest that national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates differing significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Wynn Vale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections.
