Detail

Oxley Vale's population is estimated at around 3,777 as of May 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications since the Census. This represents a drop of 158 people (4.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,935 people. The change is calculated from a resident population of 3,765, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 6 validated new addresses added since the Census date. With this population level, the density ratio stands at 445 persons per square kilometer, indicating plenty of space per resident and room for potential expansion.

Recent population gains in the area were almost exclusively driven by overseas migration. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch adopts projections released in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are utilized. Age group growth rates derived from these sources are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Projections indicate that the area will experience population growth above the median for non-metropolitan regions in Australia, with aggregated SA2-level figures suggesting an expansion of 717 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 18.7% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Oxley Vale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

40 new dwellings have been approved in Oxley Vale over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, well below 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 assessment of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area statistics, Oxley Vale has seen an average of approximately 8 new home approvals annually. This includes an estimated 40 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 1 during FY-26 so far. Because the population has been contracting, the supply of housing has kept pace with demand, resulting in a balanced market that offers good choices for buyers. Commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $3.4 million, highlighting the highly residential character of the locality.

Compared to the Rest of NSW, building activity in Oxley Vale is significantly lower, tracking 56.0% below the regional per capita average. This constrained volume of new builds generally helps support demand and values for established houses. The rate also sits below the national average, pointing to the mature state of the market and potential planning limitations. Current building approvals consist of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, with a rising proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices at different price levels, ranging from family residences to affordable compact options. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 93.0% houses, showing that developable land is becoming scarcer while reflecting shifting preferences and a demand for more varied, affordable housing. Looking forward, Oxley Vale is projected to add 705 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates do not accelerate, housing supply could fall behind population growth, which would likely increase competition among buyers and support price growth.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,935 at the 2021 Census → 3,777 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 (SAL13122). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Oxley Vale suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Oxley Vale page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Oxley Vale data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
