Oxley Park has an estimated 4,528 residents, up from 4,197 at the 2021 Census — a change of 331 people, or 7.9%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years. Natural increase accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 3,565 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
In the suburb of Oxley Park, the population is estimated at approximately 4,528 as of May 2026. This calculation, drawing on ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates a rise of 331 individuals (7.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,197 people. The change is based on a resident population of 4,519, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP data alongside an extra 74 verified new addresses since the Census. This population size represents a density ratio of 3,565 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Oxley Park in the top quartile of countrywide locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 7.9% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (5.4%) and the SA4 region, establishing the suburb of Oxley Park as a regional growth leader. The gains were mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections for each SA2 area released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the base year, are utilized by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch incorporates NSW State Government SA2 level projections from 2022 using a 2021 base year. Growth rates by age brackets from these sources are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transformations, the suburb of Oxley Park is anticipated to experience population growth slightly below the national median of statistical areas. Aggregated SA2-level projections point to a rise of 516 persons by 2041, representing a total expansion of 11.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
85 new dwellings have been approved in Oxley Park over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, approximately 17 dwellings receive development approval annually in Oxley Park. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an estimated 85 homes were approved, with 28 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Given an average of 5.8 new residents per year for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local demand outstrips new supply, which typically drives up prices and buyer rivalry. The average value of new builds is $177,000, which sits below regional averages and provides more budget-friendly alternatives for buyers.
Commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $356,000, pointing to minimal activity in non-residential development. Relative to Greater Sydney, the rate of building activity per capita in Oxley Park is 14.0% lower, ranking it in the 33rd percentile of evaluated areas nationwide, which restricts options for buyers and bolsters demand for established homes. Standalone houses represent 60.0% of recent construction, while apartments or townhouses make up 40.0%, indicating an increasing supply of medium-density choices that span various price brackets from standard family homes to compact, budget-friendly options. This new construction tilts more toward detached houses than current census statistics show (43.0% at Census), showing that demand for family homes remains strong despite densification. There are roughly 498 people per dwelling approval, which is typical of an established neighborhood. Projecting forward, Oxley Park is anticipated to add 507 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current rate of construction suggests new housing supply is on track to satisfy demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially underpinning growth beyond current projections.

2,050 residents of Oxley Park are employed, from a labour force of 2,179. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 64.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,570, about 79% 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
Oxley Park has a skilled workforce across multiple industries, with a jobless rate of 5.9% according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 2,050 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 1.8% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is slightly lower, standing at 64.4% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that 26.8% of residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. Most working residents are employed in retail trade, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing.
The transport, postal & warehousing sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 2.2 times the average rate for the region. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 5.8% of local workers, compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. The imbalance between the Census working population and resident population indicates that this residential area offers few local jobs. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures compiled from wider statistical regions, workforce participation dropped 3.8% and employment shrank 3.7% during the 12 months to March 2026, resulting in unemployment declining by 0.1 percentage points. Meanwhile, Greater Sydney saw employment rise 1.9% and the labour force grow 1.9%, with only a slight decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand in Oxley Park. These outlooks span five and ten-year horizons and were overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. National employment is projected to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral expansion varies considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Oxley Park's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population projections.

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 — 74 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,197 at the 2021 Census → 4,528 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL13121). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
