This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to data analyzed by AreaSearch, the resident population of Gladesville - Huntleys Point is estimated at approximately 16,416 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 960 residents (6.2%) from the 15,456 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated utilizing the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 16,256 along with 182 validated new addresses confirmed post-census. The resulting population density stands at 3,478 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quarter of all national areas evaluated. This 6.2% post-census growth rate is within 0.9 percentage points of the 7.1% state average, indicating solid underlying growth.
The main driver of this expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 75.5% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2. For localities not represented in that release, projections from the NSW State Government issued in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth trends derived from these sources are extended to cover the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest growth will track slightly below the national median, with the local population projected to rise by 993 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a total expansion of 5.1% over the 16 years.

Detail
On average, Gladesville - Huntleys Point has recorded 103 new residential approvals annually, amounting to a total of 515 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 61 residential approvals have been registered. Given that 1.4 new residents have moved in per completed dwelling annually over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, residential supply and demand appear well balanced, promoting market equilibrium. The average expected construction value of these new dwellings is $420,000, which exceeds the regional average and points to a focus on premium projects.
Commercial approvals have reached $4.2 million during the current financial year, confirming that the suburb remains predominantly residential. Relative to Greater Sydney, the rate of new residential approvals per capita in Gladesville - Huntleys Point is approximately two-thirds, though it ranks in the 81st percentile of all localities evaluated across the nation. The mix of new residential construction is comprised of 24.0% detached houses and 76.0% medium and high-density formats. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more affordable pathways to entry and aligns with the needs of downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a major shift from the historical layout, where standalone houses currently make up 45.0% of the stock, reflecting scarcer developable land, changing lifestyle choices, and affordability pressures. The ratio of roughly 135 people per approval indicates a low density area. Demographic projections indicate that Gladesville - Huntleys Point will add 833 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes suggest that housing supply is on track to satisfy incoming demand, establishing supportive conditions for purchasers and potentially paving the way for growth that surpasses these projections.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,384, about 88% 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
The local workforce in Gladesville - Huntleys Point is highly educated, with the technology industry showing particularly strong representation. The unemployment rate is low at 2.7%, and estimated job growth was 1.0% over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 10,151 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 1.5% below the Greater Sydney mark of 4.1%, and the participation rate is exceptionally high at 76.2% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records indicate that 54.7% of working residents operated from home, although this figure should be interpreted in light of pandemic-related restrictions.
Resident employment is primarily concentrated within professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The professional & technical services sector is especially prominent, with local employment shares reaching 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing has a minor footprint, accounting for 3.0% of local jobs compared to 5.3% across the wider region. The comparison between the Census working population and resident population suggests that this largely residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 1.0% and the labor force expanded by 0.9%, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9% and the labor force grow by 1.9%, while the unemployment rate fell slightly. Employment projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader perspective on potential future demand in Gladesville - Huntleys Point. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local mix suggests that employment in Gladesville - Huntleys Point could increase by 7.2% over five years and 14.4% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 182 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,456 at the 2021 Census → 16,416 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 (126021498). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
