Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS updates with 197 validated new addresses added since the Census, the suburb of Gladesville has an estimated resident count of approximately 13,795 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 928 people (7.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 12,867 people, building upon an interim resident population figure of 13,654 determined from the ABS ERP release in June 2025. With a population density of 3,930 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the top 10% of areas nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local land.
The suburb of Gladesville's 7.2% post-census expansion closely mirrors the NSW statewide benchmark of 7.3%, trailing by merely 0.1 percentage points. The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 74.0% of recent population gains. Demographic forecasting by AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline), supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 (anchored to 2021) for locations without federal coverage, alongside age-cohort growth projections applied across all territories from 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Gladesville is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the national median across statistical divisions, gaining 782 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which constitutes an overall rise of 4.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
477 new dwellings have been approved in Gladesville over the past five years, an average of 95 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 86 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Building approvals examined by AreaSearch from ABS statistical area data indicate that Gladesville averages approximately 95 residential approvals annually, totaling roughly 477 approved dwellings across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 63 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. The ratio of 1.8 incoming residents per approved home across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25 suggests an equilibrium between housing demand and supply, fostering market stability. Furthermore, construction proposals demonstrate an average expected construction cost of $903,000 per dwelling, highlighting an emphasis among builders on upmarket residential stock, while $3.1 million in approved commercial activity during the ongoing financial year reflects a modest level of non-residential construction.
Per capita residential construction in Gladesville reaches roughly 69% of the Greater Sydney benchmark, placing the suburb in the 74th percentile of all examined locations across the country. Current residential building approvals consist of 26.0% detached houses and 74.0% medium and high-density housing options. This orientation toward higher-density planning provides accessible market options for investors, first-time purchasers, and downsizers, marking a clear pivot away from the current neighborhood profile of 44.0% houses as suitable land parcels become scarce and buyer preferences shift toward varied, attainable housing formats. Generating one dwelling approval per roughly 151 people, Gladesville exhibits classic growth-precinct dynamics. Long-term demographic modeling indicates that Gladesville will expand by 641 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Supported by ongoing residential development activity, new housing supply appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming resident requirements, creating positive conditions for property buyers and offering capacity to accommodate population growth beyond baseline projections.

8,739 residents of Gladesville are employed, from a labour force of 8,973. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 78.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,876, about 86% 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
Gladesville features an exceptionally qualified local labor pool, marked by prominent representation within technology fields, an unemployment rate standing at only 2.6%, and 1.3% estimated annual employment growth derived from AreaSearch statistical area datasets. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,739, while local joblessness remained 1.5% under the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%, accompanied by an elevated participation rate of 78.0% against the regional mark of 68.9%. Furthermore, 55.4% of working residents stated they worked from home in Census returns, though pandemic-era movement restrictions during that period should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local workers include professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training. Professional & technical industries demonstrate particular local strength, capturing an employment share 1.2 times above regional levels. In contrast, the transport, postal & warehousing sector represents only 3.1% of local employment against a 5.3% regional benchmark. Because the locality functions largely as a residential community, local employment capacity remains comparatively constrained when comparing Census working population numbers against the broader resident base. According to AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM statistical series, over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.3% while the workforce expanded by 1.1%, reducing the local unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded 1.9% employment growth and 1.9% labour force expansion, alongside a slight reduction in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements across Gladesville over five and ten-year horizons, which, when mapped against the local industry profile, illustrate future employment trajectories. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, sectoral performance varies markedly; applying these industry-weighted rates to Gladesville's occupational profile yields projected employment increases of 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized population 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 — 197 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,867 at the 2021 Census → 13,795 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 Aug 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.
