Sales Detail
Glendalough has an estimated 3,159 residents, up from 2,628 at the 2021 Census — a change of 531 people, or 20.2%. Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 94.0% of that increase. That puts 4,388 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 evaluations of ABS regional demographic updates and newly confirmed addresses verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Glendalough records an estimated population of approximately 3,159 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 531 people (20.2%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,628 people. These figures are calculated using an estimated resident population base of 3,156 identified from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 91 post-Census validated addresses. With a resulting density of 4,387 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Glendalough ranks within the top 10% nationwide on AreaSearch metrics, highlighting intense local land demand.
The 20.2% population surge since the 2021 census outstripped both Western Australia and the national average (9.5%), establishing the suburb of Glendalough as a notable regional growth hotspot. Net overseas migration served as the core growth engine, accounting for roughly 94.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections compiled by AreaSearch integrate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline. To model localities lacking direct coverage and to chart trends past 2032, age cohort expansion trajectories from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region release (built on 2022 figures) are applied. Moving forward, the suburb of Glendalough is anticipated to track slightly under the national median rate, expanding by 275 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 projections, which corresponds to an aggregate expansion of 8.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
27 new dwellings have been approved in Glendalough over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that the local development sector has averaged roughly 5 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 27 authorized homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 15 approvals lodged during FY-25 to date. Over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, an incoming rate of 9.6 new residents per constructed dwelling demonstrates substantial demand pressure over incoming supply, driving buyer competition and upward pricing trends. Furthermore, newly approved residential builds reflect an average expected construction cost of $705,000, signaling a clear strategic pivot by builders toward upscale, high-end housing developments.
Per capita residential construction in the area is roughly half the level recorded across Greater Perth, placing it at the 65th percentile nationally, despite a recent uptick in planning and construction activity. This lower-than-average volume reflects the established urban fabric and potential zoning or planning constraints. Approved residential projects consist of 88.0% detached houses and 12.0% medium and high-density housing, emphasizing traditional detached residences for buyers seeking space and reinforcing suburban character. Interestingly, developers are pursuing standalone homes at a notably higher rate than the prevailing Census stock (8.0%), demonstrating robust appetite for family properties notwithstanding broader medium-density pressures, with roughly 199 people per dwelling approval characterizing this evolving market environment. Urban growth modeling indicates an anticipated gain of 272 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Should the present pace of residential approvals persist, construction pipelines risk falling short of incoming population numbers, which may intensify purchaser competition and reinforce upward pricing pressures across local developments.

1,986 residents of Glendalough are employed, from a labour force of 2,077. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 74.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,405, about 76% 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 labour market features an educated resident workforce with substantial representation in essential community sectors, recording a jobless rate of 4.4% and an estimated yearly employment expansion of 2.0% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,986, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.2% above Greater Perth's 4.2%. Workforce participation remains solid at 74.7%, outperforming the Greater Perth level of 69.9%. Census responses recorded a modest 4.0% of personnel working from home, a metric that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary industry sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, administrative & support, and retail trade.
The workforce displays an exceptional concentration in administrative & support services, where participation stands at 4.0 times the broader metropolitan baseline. In contrast, construction employment is comparatively subdued, capturing 3.9% of workers against a wider regional share of 9.3%. Because the precinct is predominantly residential, local workplace opportunities within the immediate boundary remain limited, as shown by comparing the Census working population against resident worker numbers. Review of SALM and ABS figures aggregated by AreaSearch across the year to March 2026 shows that local employment expanded by 2.0% while the labour pool expanded by 3.5%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Perth generated 2.0% employment growth alongside a 2.5% labour force rise, with joblessness shifting upward by 0.4 percentage points. Looking ahead, national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements. Mapped over five- and ten-year intervals against the resident workforce profile, nationwide job creation is projected at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry outcomes vary widely. Applying these occupational weightings to the local employment base suggests resident employment could increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized population adjustments).

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 — 91 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,628 at the 2021 Census → 3,159 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.
