Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of the City of Wyndham. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for the City of Wyndham. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

Central Werribee was earmarked as a village in the 1850s at a time when rural consolidation was occurring in Wyndham, with many large land holdings developing, especially by the Chirnside family at Werribee Park. Incremental growth occurred in the township during the late 1800s, with one of the more noteworthy developments being the acquisition of land by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works from the Chirnsides for a sewage farm in 1892. The Point Cook RAAF base was opened in 1914 as the Central Flying School, later to become the home of the RAAF. Werribee South was subdivided after World War One and taken up by soldier settlers, a process that helped to develop the market gardening economy of the area that survives to this day. Much of the residential growth in the City of Wyndham occurred after the Second World War, notably from the 1960s. The first subdivision in Hoppers Crossing took place in 1963, with significant residential growth during the 1970s and 1980s. The population of the City continued to grow rapidly during the 1990s, increasing from nearly 62,000 in 1991 to nearly 85,000 in 2001. Even more rapid development took place from 2001, with the population increasing to 160,000 in 2011. Much of the recent growth has been in Point Cook, Tarneit, Truganina and Wyndham Vale. Population increase is expected to continue. Land use Land use The City of Wyndham is a residential and rural area, with substantial industrial, technology and commercial areas.
