As of May 2026, the population of Hoxton Park is estimated at around 5,040 people. This reflects a growth of 468 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,572 people. The increase was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,033 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2025 and an additional 40 validated new addresses since the Census date.

The suburb's population growth rate of 10.2% since the 2021 census exceeded both the state's average (7.1%) and Greater Sydney's growth during this period. Natural growth contributed approximately 58% of overall population gains, with overseas migration and interstate migration also being positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Based on these aggregations, Hoxton Park is expected to expand by 510 persons to reach an estimated population of 5,550 by the year 2041, reflecting an increase of approximately 10% over the 16-year period.
