This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Colyton - Oxley Park is estimated to be 13,948 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 920 residents (7.1%) from the 13,028 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,923 alongside 94 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,999 persons per square kilometer, which places the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The growth rate of 7.1% since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (5.4%) and the broader SA4 region, establishing the locality as a regional leader in expansion. The primary contributor to these population gains in recent times was natural increase, accounting for roughly 52.5% of the growth. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. The age cohort growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest that the locality will experience population expansion exceeding the national median, with an anticipated increase of 1,828 people by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 12.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
267 new dwellings have been approved in Colyton - Oxley Park over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 58% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Approvals for new residential properties in Colyton - Oxley Park have averaged approximately 53 annually, totaling 267 residential approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 67 recorded thus far in FY-26. Given that historical trends over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) show an average of 4 new residents for each completed dwelling, demand is outstripping new supply, a dynamic that commonly drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition. The average construction value of these new dwellings is $170,000, which falls below regional averages and indicates more budget-friendly housing choices.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals for this financial year stand at $1.1 million, reflecting very subdued commercial investment. Colyton - Oxley Park records 14.0% less per capita new development activity than Greater Sydney, placing it in the 53rd percentile among all areas evaluated across Australia. The composition of new projects is 58.0% standalone houses and 42.0% medium-density formats like apartments or townhouses, indicating an increasing supply of diverse housing options that cater to different price ranges, contrasting with traditional standalone homes. This represents a clear shift from the historical housing stock (which stands at 79.0% houses), indicating a decline in available vacant land and responding to changing buyer preferences and budget constraints. Reflecting approximately 304 individuals for each dwelling approval, Colyton - Oxley Park points to a developing real estate market. Long-term projections indicate that Colyton - Oxley Park will add 1,803 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimation by AreaSearch. Under current construction trends, the volume of new residential supply is anticipated to satisfy demand, resulting in favorable purchasing environments and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current baseline forecasts.

6,295 residents of Colyton - Oxley Park are employed, from a labour force of 6,702. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 61.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,170, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The workforce in Colyton - Oxley Park is characterized by diverse industry representation and an unemployment rate of 6.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,295, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.9% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is also notably lower at 61.4% compared to 69.1% across the Greater Sydney region. Census data indicates that a moderate 25.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing.
The local representation in transport, postal & warehousing is particularly prominent, reaching 2.2 times the average concentration seen across the region. In contrast, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for just 4.5% of local workers compared to the regional benchmark of 11.5%. Comparing the number of working residents to local job numbers suggests that this predominantly residential district provides few employment options within its own boundaries. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 3.8% and total employment fell by 3.8%, which left the overall rate of unemployment largely unchanged. This pattern differed from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. Additional context regarding future local employment demand can be drawn from the national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year national forecasts have been aligned with local industry profiles to project future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary widely. Projecting these trends onto the industry distribution of Colyton - Oxley Park suggests local employment could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 94 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,028 at the 2021 Census → 13,948 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
