The universal statistics of density fluctuations of localized quantum states may offer unprecedented opportunities to probe and understand quantum transport in connection with dimensionality, coherence, symmetry, and disorder. To date, the possible role of topological phase transitions in the fluctuation statistics is not studied yet. Using a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain subject to off-diagonal disorder (so that chiral symmetry is preserved), this work investigates how a disorder-driven topological phase transition impacts on the spatial fluctuations of the logarithmic wave-packet density $lnP\left(r\right)$ at distance $r$ from the initial excitation. Away from the transition, in both topological and trivial localized phases, the standard deviation follows the conventional one-dimensional scaling $\sigma [lnP\left(r\right)]\sim r^{\theta }$ with $\theta \simeq \frac{1}{2}$. Near the transition, however, the fluctuation growth is enhanced: the fitted exponent $\theta$ increases above $\frac{1}{2}$ in a nonmonotonic manner before returning close to $\frac{1}{2}$ at criticality. We interpret this behavior from the energy-resolved density of states and localization length. Near the transition, several energy sectors carry appreciable spectral weight and exhibit competitive decay rates, preventing a single localization scale from dominating the accessible wave-packet tail and thereby enhancing the fluctuations of $lnP\left(r\right)$. Our results establish wave-packet fluctuation statistics as a dynamical indicator of disordered chiral topological transitions and motivate broader studies of fluctuation phenomena in disordered topological quantum systems.
