Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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

The resulting population density reaches 1,557 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density of national localities analyzed by AreaSearch. Recent population increases have been almost exclusively supported by overseas migration.

Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Glenfield

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

167 new dwellings have been approved in Glenfield over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Glenfield has recorded approximately 33 dwelling approvals per year, summing to 167 residential approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 21 approvals logged during FY-26. Because the area averaged a mere 0.2 new residents per constructed dwelling annually over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, residential construction is matching or running ahead of local demand, expanding options for prospective buyers and paving the way for population increases that may outpace current forecasts, while new homes carry an average construction value of $189,000, which is below the wider regional standard and provides more economical choices for buyers.

In comparison to the broader Greater Sydney region, Glenfield exhibits a low level of building activity, coming in at 52.0% below regional average per person. This restricted building volume generally maintains demand and supports valuations for existing properties. Construction levels are also below the national norm, illustrating the established nature of the market and pointing to potential zoning constraints. The composition of new builds is 45.0% detached houses and 55.0% townhouses or apartments. This emphasis on medium and high-density options provides lower-priced points of entry for buyers, which is advantageous for downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a shift from the current housing stock, which consists of 69.0% houses, showing that vacant residential land is scarcer and reflecting evolving lifestyles that require varied, accessible housing types. A ratio of 491 people per dwelling approval characterizes Glenfield as a mature market. Demographic forecasts indicate that Glenfield will gain 5,332 residents by 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections. If the current pace of building continues, residential supply could fall short of demand, which could intensify competition among buyers and lead to higher property prices.

Is the Glenfield SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 5,332 people by 2041, around 1,778 new dwellings will be necessary.

That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,534, about 78% 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 labor pool is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an unemployment rate sitting at just 3.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.1% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,272, and the unemployment rate was 0.5% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Greater Sydney, while labor force participation was exceptionally high at 76.5% compared to 69.1% in Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that 38.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.

The suburb shows a clear concentration in health care & social assistance, with a workforce share that is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the construction industry accounts for only 5.3% of local employment, which is lower than the Greater Sydney average of 8.6%.

An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 7.1% and the labor force expanded by 7.8%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.6 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment and labor force growth of 1.9% and 1.9% respectively, while its unemployment rate experienced a minor reduction. Future labor demand in Glenfield can be evaluated using the national employment projections from May-25 released by Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Although the national workforce is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary considerably by sector. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local workforce indicates that employment in Glenfield would grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted calculation for illustration and excludes localized demographic 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 — 155 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,536 at the 2021 Census → 10,890 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 (123021704). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Glenfield SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Glenfield 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 Glenfield 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 (Jul 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.
