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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Glenwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Glenwood has an estimated 15,984 residents, up from 15,829 at the 2021 Census — a change of 155 people, or 1.0%. That puts 3,122 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

According to calculations performed by AreaSearch, the population of Glenwood stands at approximately 15,984 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 155 individuals (1.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 15,829 residents. This shift is deduced from the ABS estimated resident population of 15,984 in June 2025 alongside 6 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 3,121 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The expansion was chiefly driven by net overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 78.5% of the total population growth in recent times.

For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where these are unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 base year are applied. Growth rates across age cohorts derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point toward growth in the bottom national quartile for statistical areas, with a projected increase of 227 individuals to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to an overall rise of 1.4% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Glenwood

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

40 new dwellings have been approved in Glenwood over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 0.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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

Glenwood averages approximately 8 residential building approvals annually, accumulating to 40 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 3 approvals have been logged. Because the locality has seen population decline, the volume of housing remains sufficient to meet demand, fostering a balanced market environment with ample options for purchasers, while newly constructed residences average a cost of $373,000. Additionally, commercial approvals of $100,000 have been logged this financial year, highlighting that the neighborhood is predominantly residential. Compared to the broader Greater Sydney region, Glenwood exhibits very low volumes of development.

This relative lack of new construction generally bolsters demand and valuations for established residences. The level of activity falls below the national average, reflecting a mature suburb and hinting at potential planning limitations. Furthermore, recent construction permits consist solely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density suburban character of the area which draws buyers looking for extra space. With a ratio of roughly 2285 people per residential approval, Glenwood displays the characteristics of a highly mature market. Projections indicate that Glenwood will gain 227 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Under current construction volumes, the housing supply is expected to satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,829 at the 2021 Census → 15,984 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 (116021309). 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 Glenwood 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 Glenwood 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 Glenwood 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 (Aug 2025) 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.
