Hoxton Park

An assessment of population growth drivers in Hoxton Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, as of Nov 2025, Hoxton Park's estimated population is around 5,101. This reflects an increase of 529 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,572. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,099 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024), along with an additional 40 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,312 persons per square kilometer, placing Hoxton Park in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The area's growth rate of 11.6% since the 2021 census exceeded both state (7.6%) and metropolitan area averages, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Natural growth contributed approximately 58% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including overseas migration and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, the Hoxton Park statistical area (Lv2) is expected to expand by 605 persons based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of approximately 6.9% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Hoxton Park recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers for Hoxton Park shows around 18 new homes approved annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 94 homes were approved, with another 18 approved in FY-26 to date. On average, each dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 brought in about 4 new residents per year.

This has led to demand outpacing supply, potentially putting upward pressure on prices and increasing competition among buyers. New properties are being constructed at an average expected cost of $381,000.

In FY-26, commercial development approvals totalled $7.2 million, indicating limited focus on commercial development. Building activity is dominated by detached houses (90.0%) with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 10.0%, sustaining Hoxton Park's suburban identity. With around 384 people per dwelling approval, the area shows a developed market. By 2041, Hoxton Park is expected to grow by approximately 352 residents, according to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate. Current construction levels should meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially allowing growth beyond current forecasts.
