Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Glenfield (NSW) has an estimated population of approximately 10,893, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations. This represents a 3.4% rise of 357 residents from the 10,536 individuals counted at the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from an estimated resident population base of 10,758 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 154 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,558 persons per square kilometer, exceeding typical nationwide benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inward overseas migration served as essentially the exclusive contributor to demographic expansion in recent times. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia for SA2 zones (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch, with gaps filled via NSW State Government SA2 projections (released in 2022 utilizing a 2021 baseline). Age-specific expansion rates derived from these datasets are extended across all localities spanning 2032 to 2041. Demographic outlooks for the suburb of Glenfield (NSW) point to exceptional future expansion within the top 10 percent nationwide, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting an influx of 5,366 persons by 2041, corresponding to a total gain of 48.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
167 new dwellings have been approved in Glenfield (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of statistical area building approvals from the ABS indicates that Glenfield experiences roughly 33 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 167 dwellings approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 24 recorded to date in FY-25. Because an average of only 0.3 people per year entered the locality per dwelling constructed across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume is satisfying or exceeding local intake, enhancing options for purchasers and facilitating higher-than-projected population growth, while incoming stock features an average construction value of $272,000—below regional levels—offering relatively accessible options.
Residential building output in Glenfield lags Greater Sydney considerably, trailing the regional per-capita average by 61.0%. This limited supply of incoming homes generally bolsters pricing and competition for established dwellings, while also tracking below national norms to indicate a mature locality facing potential planning constraints. Of recently approved structures, detached houses represent 48.0% and medium-to-high density formats (townhouses or apartments) account for 52.0%. This pivot toward higher-density building introduces affordable market entry points catering to downsizers, first-time purchasers, and investors, while representing a clear divergence from the existing profile (currently 69.0% houses) that suggests contracting supplies of developable land alongside changing consumer requirements. A ratio of around 479 people per dwelling approval further highlights the area's established standing. Demographic projections suggest that Glenfield will expand by 5,231 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Should construction persist at its current pace, additions to the housing stock could fail to keep up with demographic gains, thereby intensifying buyer demand and exerting upward pressure on property values.

6,272 residents of Glenfield (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 6,509. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 76.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,539, about 78% 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
Workforce analysis from AreaSearch statistical area aggregations reveals an educated local labor pool in Glenfield marked by a low unemployment rate of 3.6%, substantial engagement in professional services, and estimated annual job growth of 7.1%. Employed residents numbered 6,272 as of March 2026, accompanied by an unemployment rate sitting 0.5% beneath Greater Sydney's 4.1% and a participation rate of 76.7% that notably outpaces the regional mark of 68.9%. Furthermore, Census responses showed 38.0% of local workers operating from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Locally resident workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical sectors.
Representation is particularly prominent across health care & social assistance, where local participation reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, the construction sector accounts for a smaller footprint of 5.3% locally against 8.6% across the wider region. An assessment of Census resident workers relative to local daytime employment suggests that internal employment opportunities remain constrained. According to AreaSearch syntheses of ABS and SALM statistical area figures, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local employment expand by 7.1% against a 7.8% expansion in the labor pool, resulting in a 0.6 percentage points rise in unemployment; throughout Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, employment and labor supply both rose by 1.9% while joblessness dipped slightly. Long-term outlooks can also be assessed through Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections mapped across the local industry profile over five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is expected to lift by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with sectoral variations suggesting Glenfield's employment base could grow by 6.9% across five years and 14.3% across ten years (illustrative weighted extrapolation excluding localized demographic 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 — 154 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,536 at the 2021 Census → 10,893 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.
