Sales Detail
Glendenning has an estimated 5,273 residents, up from 5,196 at the 2021 Census — a change of 77 people, or 1.5%. That puts 1,551 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified following the Census, the suburb of Glendenning has an estimated population of roughly 5,273 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 77 people (1.5%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,196 people. This adjustment stems from an estimated resident population of 5,257 determined via the ABS ERP release from June 2025, complemented by 9 validated new addresses registered post-Census. Consequently, the suburb of Glendenning records a population density of 1,550 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Moreover, the suburb of Glendenning's post-census expansion of 1.5% sits within 2.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (3.7%), highlighting resilient growth characteristics. Recent population gains were predominantly steered by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 55.00000000000001% of overall net additions. Projections prepared by ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 areas, with remaining SA2 localities drawing on NSW State Government projections released in 2022 (benchmarked to 2021). Age-bracket growth trends from these models are subsequently utilized across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Applying this framework to future demographic shifts, the suburb of Glendenning is projected to undergo a slight overall population contraction of 72 persons by 2041. In contrast, certain age segments will experience expansion, most notably the 75 to 84 age group, which is slated to rise by 165 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
45 new dwellings have been approved in Glendenning over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, 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 allocated by AreaSearch indicates that Glendenning averages roughly 9 approved dwellings annually, culminating in approximately 45 residential approvals across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 37 approvals have been logged. Because the population contracted during the previous period, the flow of new housing has matched local demand well, fostering a balanced market featuring healthy buyer options. In addition, new residential builds exhibit an average construction value of $201,000—sitting below the wider regional figure—pointing to relatively accessible price points for newly constructed homes.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have totaled $11.8 million during this financial year, signifying a moderate volume of non-residential development. Glendenning registers a per-capita rate of residential construction comparable to Greater Sydney, aligning with broader metropolitan stability even as local building activity has gained momentum recently. When measured against national standards, activity remains below average, indicating an established urban footprint alongside potential planning constraints. Compositionally, recent approvals consist of 92.0% detached houses and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density suburban landscape favored by families looking for larger living spaces. Yielding roughly 220 people per dwelling approval, the area continues to reflect low-density planning parameters. With demographic forecasts indicating stable or downward population trajectories, Glendenning is likely to see reduced housing pressure, fostering favorable buying conditions.

2,985 residents of Glendenning are employed, from a labour force of 3,109. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 76.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,911, about 112% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Glendenning maintains an educated workforce distributed across various industries, posting a low unemployment rate of 4.0% alongside an estimated annual jobs growth rate of 1.6%, according to AreaSearch's statistical area data aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents reached 2,985, while local unemployment sat 0.1% beneath the Greater Sydney figure of 4.1%. Concurrently, labour force participation stood at an elevated 76.4%, considerably above the 68.9% recorded across Greater Sydney. Census records showed that 28.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
Local workers are primarily engaged in transport, postal & warehousing, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Glendenning shows a pronounced concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local employment proportion is 2.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a modest 4.3% of the resident workforce, underperforming the 11.5% regional share. Furthermore, a Census ratio of 0.8 workers for every local resident underlines a healthy supply of local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM figures from surrounding statistical geographies, the preceding 12-month period generated a 1.6% rise in employment alongside a 1.3% increase in the total workforce, driving a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the equivalent timeframe in Greater Sydney, employment grew by 1.9%, the labour supply expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment declined slightly. National projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an indicator of future employment trends for Glendenning. These five- and ten-year industry trajectories have been applied against the local occupational base to model future demand. Across the country, employment is expected to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these sectoral growth weights to Glendenning's industry distribution implies local employment expansions of 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (noting this represents 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,196 at the 2021 Census → 5,273 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.
