Wyoming
A slow-growth profile is Wyoming's most distinctive feature: the annual trend is -0.17%, despite a population of 10,111 and density of 1,416.6 people per square kilometre. Housing is detached-dominant, with 76.8% separate houses and only 2.9% apartments, while the median age of 42 is 2 years above the national figure. Household income sits at the 40.8th percentile, below the midpoint of Australian suburbs. For buyers comparing Wyoming with nearby Gosford and Narara, its measurable point of difference is the suburban housing form, alongside a 31.9% working-from-home share and established setting.

Homebuyers get a mostly detached stock profile, with 76.8% separate houses, 19.6% semi-detached dwellings and 2.9% apartments. The common sizes are 3 bedrooms at 46.7% and 4 or more at 31.7%, which suits households needing more space than a compact apartment market. The main pressure is financing: the $1,950 monthly mortgage is paired with mortgage-to-income of 32.0%, above rent-to-income at 27.7%, while affordability moved from 54.4% in 2011 to 57.4% in 2021 and is labelled worsening. Compare recent sales and exact streets before committing.

For Investors
Investors face a steady-rent case rather than a strong capital-growth signal. Weekly rent is $390, vacancy is 5.6% and 25.3% of households rent, creating a reasonable base to investigate tenant demand. Yet the annual trend is -0.17%, so expected growth is lower than in a positive-growth corridor. Development activity is material at 51 applications in 12 months, which may improve local amenity but can also increase future competition. Overseas migration is the primary driver, so demand should be tested by dwelling type, leasing time and costs rather than rent alone.

Transport to Work
Daily life is car-oriented: 59.1% travel as car drivers, compared with 2.4% using public transport and 1.6% walking or cycling. The 31.9% working-from-home share may reduce commuting for some households, but access to jobs and services is likely to be easier by car than by transit. Wyoming has 2 government primary schools, Valley View Public School and Wyoming Public School; families should check the exact enrolment zone and assess secondary options nearby. SEIFA IRSAD is decile 4, lower than the IEO and IER decile 5, so household budgets matter when weighing transport and education choices. Check current NSW Police records for safety decisions, since a suburb crime rate is not available.

Population Forecast
-0.17%/yr
(-19 people/yr)
EstablishedWyoming's growth outlook is subdued and mixed. The annual trend is -0.17%, below zero, while overseas migration is the primary driver. Across the wider area, 10-year population change is 2.1%, slower than a rapid-growth corridor, and the shift trajectory is labelled Mixed. Rent growth is 48.1%, affordability is marked Worsening as the index moves from 54.4% in 2011 to 57.4% in 2021, and the senior share has risen 2.3 points while the young share fell 0.4. Gentrification is recorded as Not gentrifying with score 0, while the shift assessment says Early signs with score 31. These signals point to an established suburb changing gradually because ageing and affordability pressure outweigh stronger expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Wyoming a good suburb to live in?
It can suit households seeking a detached-home setting, with 76.8% separate houses and 31.9% working from home. The median age is 42, 2 years above the national figure, so the profile is older than Australia overall. Compare exact streets for transport, schools and housing costs.
What is the median house price in Wyoming?
A current median house price should be checked against recent Wyoming sales because prices can move faster than annual suburb summaries. Key cost markers are a $1,950 monthly mortgage, $390 weekly rent and mortgage-to-income of 32.0%, higher than rent-to-income at 27.7%.
What schools are in Wyoming?
Wyoming has 2 government primary schools: Valley View Public School and Wyoming Public School. Their locations support local primary access, but enrolment zones can change by address. Families should compare the exact zone and nearby secondary options before choosing a property.
Is Wyoming safe?
A definitive safety judgement needs current incident data rather than a suburb-wide label. Wyoming has 10,111 residents and 59.1% car-driver travel, so recent police patterns and traffic conditions are worth checking street by street. Compare Wyoming with nearby Gosford or Narara using current NSW Police information.
Is Wyoming good for property investment?
It may suit a yield-focused investor, but the outlook is mixed. Rent is $390 a week, vacancy is 5.6% and 25.3% of households rent, while 51 development applications were recorded in 12 months. The annual trend is -0.17%, lower than a positive-growth market, so compare rent, maintenance and resale demand with the purchase price.
How is Wyoming's population changing?
Wyoming is changing slowly: the wider area's 10-year population change is 2.1%, while the annual trend is -0.17%. Overseas migration is the primary driver, but the shift is labelled Mixed. The senior share rose 2.3 percentage points and the young share fell 0.4 points, making the trajectory slower than a growth corridor.
Is Wyoming seeing much development?
Activity is noticeable, with 51 development applications in 12 months, including dwelling houses and additions. Wyoming remains detached-dominant at 76.8% separate houses versus 2.9% apartments, so the pattern is more residential than apartment-led. Rent growth of 48.1% makes supply and amenity changes worth monitoring, but compare each proposal's scale and location.
How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state education open registers (school locations), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
