Oxley Park
At 4,197 residents packed into 1.27 km2, Oxley Park runs at 3,303 people per km2, a density that is well above most Western Sydney suburbs of similar housing vintage. What stands out is the tenure mix: 43% of households rent and only 18% own outright, pointing to a young, mobile population rather than an established owner-occupier base. The median age of 31 is 9 years below the national figure, and 39.9% of residents were born overseas, which is 18.3 percentage points above the national rate. SEIFA places the suburb in decile 2 on both IRSD and IRSAD, indicating higher disadvantage than around 80% of Australian suburbs.

2024-2025 (PSI derived)
The median house price reached $750,000 in 2024-2025, rising from $712,500 in 2024 to $800,000 in 2025, a 12.3% move in a single year. Monthly mortgage repayments average $1,980, which produces a mortgage-to-income ratio of 28.4%, below the 30% stress threshold relative to local household incomes. Housing stock tilts heavily toward semi-detached dwellings at 55.5%, with separate houses making up only 43.3% and apartments just 0.9%. Three-bedroom homes dominate at 61.3% of all dwellings, with 4-plus bedroom homes at 28.0%, so buyers seeking family-sized accommodation have reasonable choice. Compared to the broader Western Sydney median, the price point remains accessible, though the low 18% outright ownership rate signals that most buyers here are carrying debt for many years.

Compared to the broader Western Sydney median, the price point remains accessible, though the low 18% outright ownership rate signals that most buyers here are carrying debt for many years.
For Investors
Renters make up 43% of residents, comfortably above the national average, and the weekly rent of $400 against a $750,000 median gives an indicative gross yield near 2.8%. The 6.0% vacancy rate is elevated and warrants attention as a sign of supply-demand softness in the rental segment. Demand fundamentals have structural support: overseas migration adds a net 134 residents per year while internal migration removes about 93, leaving a positive net flow that sustains tenant demand. Population grew 19.3% over the past decade and is forecast to reach 14,741 by 2031 at the SA2 level. The 34% residential turnover rate suggests tenants cycle through regularly, keeping rental listings active. Eighteen development applications were lodged in the past 12 months, including multi-dwelling and subdivision activity, indicating modest but ongoing densification pressure.

Demographics
The median age of 31 sits 9 years below the national figure, and the young-resident signal is reinforced by a 1.2-point increase in the youth share over the decade. Overseas-born residents at 39.9% are 18.3 percentage points above national. The most common ancestries are English (788 residents) and Filipino (346), with Indian (238) also notable. Top non-English languages include Arabic (68 speakers), Hindi (45), Urdu (44) and Samoan (40), reflecting a South and Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander mix. University qualifications reach 32.5% of adults, which is 2.4 percentage points above the national rate despite the suburb sitting in SEIFA decile 2, an unusual gap between educational attainment and economic advantage. Average household size of 2.8 is 0.3 above national, consistent with the family-household profile where couples with children total 1,605 of the suburb's 3,395 families.

Tenure
Oxley Park's housing stock is unusual for Western Sydney in that semi-detached dwellings account for 55.5% of homes, outnumbering the 43.3% separate house share and leaving almost no apartment component at 0.9%. Tenure is skewed toward renters (43%) over mortgage holders (39%) and outright owners (18%), a distribution that is more typical of inner-city suburbs than a 1.27 km2 low-rise western precinct. The median house price climbed from $712,500 in 2024 to $800,000 in 2025, a 12.3% annual gain. Bedrooms concentrate at three (61.3%) and four-plus (28.0%), so supply of smaller dwellings below the suburb median is tight. Mortgage-to-income at 28.4% and rent-to-income at 24.8% both sit below the conventional stress thresholds, suggesting current repayment burdens are manageable at local income levels.

Economy & Employment
Healthcare is the dominant employer at 20.0% of the workforce (202 workers), well above the national industry weight, followed by Retail at 10.3% (104) and Transport at 9.3% (94). Professional/Tech (8.1%) and Construction (8.0%) round out the top five. By occupation, Machinery and Drivers lead at 280 workers and Clerical/Admin follows at 261, while Professionals account for 248, indicating a mixed blue-collar and white-collar workforce. The unemployment rate is 7.8%, higher than state averages, and the participation rate of 50.8% is below national norms, partly because 1,022 residents are not in the labour force. Household income sits at the 53rd percentile nationally, slightly above the midpoint. Real incomes grew 14.2% over the decade, but the SEIFA IRSD decile 2 score confirms that relative disadvantage remains pronounced compared to the broader NSW population.

Transport to Work
Transport in Oxley Park is car-dependent: 89.6% of residents drive to work and only 3.1% use public transport, below the metropolitan average and reflecting limited rail and bus options in this part of Western Sydney. Walking and cycling account for just 0.9%. Schools are not recorded within the suburb boundary, so families rely on institutions in surrounding postcodes. The suburb scores decile 2 on IRSAD, placing it in the lower 20% nationally for socioeconomic advantage, and decile 3 on the IER resource index. Volunteering is low at 7.7% and 5.4% of residents (207 people) need daily assistance. On the positive side, housing stress indicators are contained: rent-to-income at 24.8% and mortgage-to-income at 28.4% remain below the 30% stress benchmark despite the below-median income base.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
