Overall Risk Score
Hazard Breakdown
Flood, bushfire, heat, coastal and storm exposure are all assessed in this area. The score that matters is the property's own: a ClimateNest report scores the address across eight hazards, with insurance and value projections to 2050.
Climate Hazard Breakdown for Wyoming
Flood
Wyoming faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, exacerbating flood risk.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased rainfall intensity
- ·Sea level rise
Bushfire
Wyoming has a moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding bushland. Hotter, drier conditions are projected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased temperatures
- ·Decreased rainfall
Heat
Wyoming is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased greenhouse gas emissions
- ·Urban heat island effect
Coastal
Wyoming is not directly on the coast and has a low risk from coastal hazards. Sea level rise may indirectly affect the suburb through impacts on nearby coastal areas.
Key drivers:
- ·Sea level rise
- ·Storm surges

Detailed Hazard Analysis
heat Risk
Wyoming is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
Primary Drivers
- ·Increased greenhouse gas emissions
- ·Urban heat island effect
flood Risk
Wyoming faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, exacerbating flood risk.
Primary Drivers
- ·Increased rainfall intensity
- ·Sea level rise
- ·Urban development
coastal Risk
Wyoming is not directly on the coast and has a low risk from coastal hazards. Sea level rise may indirectly affect the suburb through impacts on nearby coastal areas.
Primary Drivers
- ·Sea level rise
- ·Storm surges
bushfire Risk
Wyoming has a moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding bushland. Hotter, drier conditions are projected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires.
Primary Drivers
- ·Increased temperatures
- ·Decreased rainfall
- ·Dry vegetation
What This Means for Property Owners
Insurance Outlook
Insurance premiums may increase due to increased flood and bushfire risk.
Price Impact
Properties in flood-prone areas may experience a decrease in value.
Buyer Checklist
- 1.Check flood maps and bushfire prone areas.
- 2.Assess property's vulnerability to heatwaves.
- 3.Review insurance options and costs.
- 4.Consider future climate projections when making purchasing decisions.
How the region's climate is projected to change
Regional projections, not a forecast for this street. Figures are from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's climate projections for the South Western Flatlands region, which draws on CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology modelling.
Temperature
+0.5 to 1.1°C by 2030
Above the 1986–2005 climate, on all emissions scenarios. By 2090, 1.2 to 2.0°C under intermediate emissions or 2.6 to 4.0°C under high emissions.
Rainfall
Winter rain down up to 15% by 2030
The South West has been drying since 1970, and the decline has been larger than anywhere else in Australia. Heavy rainfall events are projected to become more intense even as totals fall.
Fire weather
Harsher, magnitude uncertain
High confidence that fire weather becomes harsher, low confidence in the size of the change, because it depends heavily on summer rainfall.
Sea level
+0.12 m by 2030
At the Fremantle gauge, range 0.07 to 0.16 m. Very high confidence that sea levels continue to rise through the century.

Learn moreAbout Wyoming's Climate Risk Profile
Wyoming, located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, is susceptible to several climate-related hazards. The suburb's proximity to waterways increases its vulnerability to flooding, which is projected to worsen with increased rainfall intensity due to climate change.
Bushfire risk is also a concern, given the surrounding bushland. Hotter and drier conditions are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires, posing a threat to properties and residents.
Heatwaves are another significant hazard, with Wyoming likely to experience more frequent and intense heat events. This can lead to heat stress and other health problems, especially for vulnerable populations.
While coastal risks are relatively low, sea level rise could indirectly affect Wyoming through impacts on nearby coastal areas. It is important for residents to stay informed and take steps to prepare for these climate-related hazards.
Suburb pages describe the local picture. The address-level assessment, with its data sources and its dollar projections, is in the ClimateNest report.
