Sales Detail
Glenmore Park has an estimated 26,642 residents, up from 25,021 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,621 people, or 6.5%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 325 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 63.0% of that increase. That puts 2,738 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 ABS population updates evaluated for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Glenmore Park has a population estimated at 26,642 as of May 2026. This represents a 6.5% rise, or an additional 1,621 individuals, from the 2021 Census when the population stood at 25,021 people. The figure is derived from a resident count of 26,427 assessed by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 325 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population translates to a density of 2,738 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Glenmore Park in the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Its 6.5% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region's 6.0% rate, making it a regional leader. This growth was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for approximately 63.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch employs ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 locations lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the starting year are utilized instead. Demographic cohort growth rates derived from these datasets are applied to all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographics, the suburb of Glenmore Park is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with an anticipated increase of 5,260 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 18.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
341 new dwellings have been approved in Glenmore Park over the past five years, an average of 68 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 83 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 67% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 69, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval records allocated from local statistical areas shows that Glenmore Park averages approximately 68 residential approvals annually, with a total of 341 dwellings approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and an additional 64 approvals recorded during FY-26. Because an average of 4 new occupants per built dwelling have arrived annually over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand is outpacing supply, which typically drives up property prices and intensifies competition. The average expected construction value for these new homes is $560,000, indicating that building activity is focused on upscale, high-end residences.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $349.3 million this financial year, reflecting substantial business development in the locality. Compared to the Greater Sydney region, building activity in Glenmore Park is low, coming in at 55.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited volume of new housing typically supports the value and demand for established properties. This rate also sits below the national average, indicating a mature suburb and possible planning limitations. Recent building approvals consist of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, showing a growing mix of attached dwellings that provide varied choices across price ranges, from roomy family residences to smaller, more affordable options. This represents a distinct shift from the existing housing stock, where standalone houses account for 91.0% of homes, reflecting a lack of vacant land and changing lifestyle and affordability requirements. With approximately 751 residents for every approval, the area shows the characteristics of a settled, established suburb. Projecting forward, the suburb's population is expected to grow by 5,045 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates remain constant, housing supply may fail to match population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting property price increases.

15,842 residents of Glenmore Park are employed, from a labour force of 16,073. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 77.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 20,065, about 75% 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
Glenmore Park has a skilled resident labor force, with strong representation in vital service industries and an unemployment rate of only 1.4%, according to AreaSearch's aggregated statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 15,842 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 2.7% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is also notably high, reaching 77.8% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high 35.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors of employment for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The suburb exhibits a high concentration of jobs in public administration & safety, running at 1.6 times the average for the region. In contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.3% of employment compared to 11.5% regionally. This highly residential area appears to provide few local employment opportunities, as shown by comparing the count of resident workers against the local working population from the Census. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the local labor force contracted by 3.5% during the year ending March 2026, while the number of employed residents fell by 3.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point reduction in unemployment. This pattern diverges from Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% increase in the labor force, and a minimal drop in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but rates vary widely by sector. Applying these specific industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests that employment among residents should grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 325 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (25,021 at the 2021 Census → 26,642 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 (SAL11674). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
