This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Glendenning has an estimated 5,267 residents, up from 5,196 at the 2021 Census — a change of 71 people, or 1.4%. That puts 1,549 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
Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with additional residential locations verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Glendenning has a population calculated to be approximately 5,267 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 71 people (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,196 individuals. This adjustment is deduced from the estimated local population of 5,260, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP publication (June 2025) plus an additional 9 validated new addresses post-Census. Such a population size corresponds to a density of 1,549 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio recorded across Australian regions analysed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 1.4% for the suburb of Glendenning is within 2.2 percentage points of the broader SA3 territory (3.6%), showing competitive growth indicators. Population expansion in the locality was primarily driven by international migration, which accounted for approximately 55.00000000000001% of the total demographic increases during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a baseline of 2022, are implemented by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, the 2022 projections from the NSW State Government, using 2021 as a baseline, are substituted. Projected growth figures across age cohorts from these datasets are applied to all regions for the span from 2032 to 2041. Over this timeframe, projections suggest a contraction in the overall population, with the suburb of Glendenning expected to decrease by 59 residents by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, certain cohorts are expected to expand, particularly individuals aged 75 to 84, who are projected to grow by 167 people. Please refer to the age segment for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
38 new dwellings have been approved in Glendenning over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 33, 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS distributed from regional statistics, Glendenning has registered approximately 7 residential building approvals annually, summing to an estimated 38 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 31 approvals have been documented. Because the locality has undergone population reduction, the incoming housing stock has likely matched current demand, presenting buyers with reasonable choices, with new dwellings being constructed at a mean value of $324,000. Furthermore, $11.8 million in commercial building approvals have been registered this financial year, reflecting a steady pace of commercial funding.
Relative to Greater Sydney, Glendenning registers approximately two-thirds the volume of new housing approvals per capita, placing it in the 24th percentile of all regions evaluated nationwide, which translates to fewer options for purchasers and supports demand for existing properties. This volume is also below the nationwide median, highlighting the mature nature of the locality and pointing to potential zoning constraints. Recent construction trends consist of 80.0% standalone houses and 20.0% medium and high-density dwellings, preserving the suburban profile of the locality with a focus on family-oriented layouts. This represents a notable shift from the established housing distribution (which is currently 97.0% houses), indicating a decline in available development parcels while responding to evolving lifestyle choices and affordability goals. Recording roughly 659 people per approval, Glendenning presents as a fully developed, established area. Given that the population is projected to remain steady or contract, Glendenning should experience less pressure on its housing inventory, which may generate favorable conditions for purchasers.

The hub features 12 international-standard indoor courts, a 3,000-seat show court, 6 outdoor beach volleyball courts, and high-performance training and medical suites. While a central part of Blacktown City Council's long-term infrastructure strategy, the project remains in the proposed stage pending the securing of significant state or federal funding, as it was not fully funded under the initial 2022 WestInvest allocations.
2,998 residents of Glendenning are employed, from a labour force of 3,123. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 76.9%. 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 5,896, 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
The local workforce is well-educated and represents a wide array of industries, showing an unemployment rate of 4.0% and a 1.6% rise in estimated employment over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch from regional statistics. As of March 2026, 2,998 local citizens are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.1% below the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Furthermore, workforce participation is significantly elevated, reaching 76.9% compared to the 69.1% average for Greater Sydney. Census records show that a high proportion of residents, 28.6%, performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, along with transport, postal & warehousing. The locality demonstrates a strong concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with its employment share reaching 2.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.3% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 11.5% average across Greater Sydney. The presence of 0.8 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a strong local employment base. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regional boundaries, employment rose by 1.6% and the total workforce expanded by 1.4% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.2 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney experienced employment expansion of 1.9% and workforce growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. The national employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Glendenning. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been aligned with the local workforce composition to estimate growth paths. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by industry. Aligning these sector-specific forecasts with the local workforce distribution suggests that employment in Glendenning should rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,196 at the 2021 Census → 5,267 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 (SAL11663). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
