Suburb profile
Oxley Park is a well-connected mid-sized suburb in Penrith Council with everyday amenities close at hand. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with a strong presence of young families throughout. A large share of residents were born overseas, and languages other than English are widely spoken at home.
There is a dense cluster of schools and early-learning options nearby. Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. Buses make it easy to move between neighbouring suburbs without relying on the car.
Property sits in a premium price band and is harder to enter for many buyers. Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period.
The overall desirability read is around average, pulled by softer community and employment compared with similar metro suburbs, though growth momentum remain brighter spots. Limited access to some essential local services also trimmed the result.

Methodology
Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.
The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~5,000), extrapolated at +1.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?
IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.
IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.
A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
