Sales Detail
Glengowrie has an estimated 6,202 residents, up from 5,767 at the 2021 Census — a change of 435 people, or 7.5%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 65.0% of that increase. That puts 3,317 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 wider ABS population adjustments alongside newly confirmed addresses post-dating the Census, the suburb of Glengowrie records an estimated population of approximately 6,202 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 435 residents (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,767 people. Such expansion is derived from an estimated resident count of 6,172 established by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 31 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With a resulting density of 3,316 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Glengowrie places within the upper quartile of Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the local 7.5% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (6.3%), establishing the suburb of Glengowrie as a standout growth area locally, with net overseas migration serving as the principal driver by generating around 65.0% of recent population additions. For individual SA2 boundaries, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia forward estimates published in 2024 using 2022 as their baseline. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage or extend beyond 2032, figures rely on 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age cohort projections based on 2021 data, converted via weighted growth aggregation from LGA to SA2 zones. On the basis of these aggregated SA2 projections, the suburb of Glengowrie is forecast to experience population expansion above the median of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, adding 1,142 persons by 2041 to achieve an overall 16-year increase of 17.9%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
185 new dwellings have been approved in Glengowrie over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 68% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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, apportioned from statistical divisions, indicates that Glengowrie has maintained an annual average of approximately 37 residential approvals, totaling roughly 185 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 49 registered to date in FY-25. With an average of 1.6 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local residential construction closely tracks demand to ensure steady market conditions. The average construction cost of these new homes sits at $446,000, exceeding regional standards and reflecting higher-tier residential development.
Concurrently, commercial building approvals have totaled $2.0 million for the current financial year, demonstrating subdued non-residential development. On a per-capita basis, Glengowrie demonstrates residential construction rates aligned with Greater Adelaide, maintaining balanced supply dynamics consistent with the wider metropolitan region. The breakdown of recent residential construction shows 68.0% dedicated to standalone houses and 32.0% to townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, providing an expanding variety of attached formats across diverse price points that range from family residences to compact options. With approximately 139 people per approval, the suburb exhibits ongoing development activity. According to forward estimates, Glengowrie is anticipated to welcome 1,112 additional inhabitants up to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure. While local residential construction remains aligned with projected demographic expansion, incoming demand may drive up competition among prospective purchasers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Tram Grade Separation Projects
A major infrastructure initiative to remove three high-traffic level crossings on the Glenelg tram line by constructing new elevated tram overpasses at Marion Road, Cross Road, and Morphett Road. The project also included the complete reconstruction of the South Road tram overpass. While tram services resumed on 26 January 2026, ongoing construction continues through mid-2026 for intersection upgrades at Anzac Highway, building shared-use paths for the Mike Turtur Bikeway, and final landscaping.
Morphettville / Glengowrie Horse Related Activities Code Amendment
Two code amendments rezoning nearly 14 hectares from recreation and horse-related uses to urban neighbourhood zones. It facilitates the transition of former stabling areas into medium to high-density housing, accommodating up to 136 homes with developments up to 8 levels, and mitigating ongoing risks with the movement of horses on public streets.
Tram Grade Separation at Marion Road and Cross Road, Plympton
Removing the level crossings at Marion Road and Cross Road with new tram overpasses to make journeys safer and more reliable. Part of the broader Tram Grade Separation Projects.

3,452 residents of Glengowrie are employed, from a labour force of 3,505. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 67.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,700, 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
Glengowrie benefits from an educated local workforce characterized by a strong presence in professional services, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.5%, and an estimated 5.7% annual rise in jobs according to aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch. By March 2026, employed residents reached 3,452, with local joblessness tracking 2.3% lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8% and labor participation broadly matching the metropolitan benchmark of 66.4%. At the time of the Census, 13.4% of working locals operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, along with construction.
Notably, education & training shows considerable concentration, employing residents at 1.2 times the regional rate. Conversely, the manufacturing sector accounts for a modest 5.1% share of the workforce, below the 7.0% seen across the broader region. Given the predominantly residential character of the locality, local job availability remains limited as evidenced by the balance between resident workers and local workplace counts from the Census. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistical data shows that across the 12 months leading to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 5.7% against a 5.4% expansion in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.3 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and its labor force by 4.0%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Glengowrie. These five- and ten-year forecasts, when aligned with the local industry distribution, outline prospective trajectory paths. Against nationwide projected job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, shifting sector performance applied across Glengowrie's industry mix suggests resident employment could rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes local 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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,767 at the 2021 Census → 6,202 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.
