Sales Detail
Glynde has an estimated 2,284 residents, up from 2,102 at the 2021 Census — a change of 182 people, or 8.7%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,430 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 wider region and recently verified residential locations by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Glynde has an estimated population of 2,284 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 182 residents (8.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,102 individuals. This shift is derived from a resident headcount of 2,266 determined by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ERP release by the ABS alongside ongoing address validation post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,429 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quarter of all Australian areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 8.7% growth rate of the suburb of Glynde since the 2021 census was higher than the state average of 7.5% as well as Greater Adelaide, making it a leading growth area. This expansion was driven almost exclusively by arrivals from overseas, which functioned as the sole contributor to population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 regions, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For any SA2 locations lacking these figures, or for periods past 2032, calculations incorporate the 2023 age-specific regional and LGA forecasts from the SA State Government built on 2021 data, adjusted via a weighted aggregation method from LGA to SA2 divisions. Looking ahead, a substantial rise in population is anticipated that ranks in the top quarter of statistical units nationwide, with the suburb of Glynde projected to add 574 individuals by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level modeling, representing an overall expansion of 24.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
42 new dwellings have been approved in Glynde over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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 compiled by AreaSearch for this local market, Glynde averages approximately 8 approved residential dwellings each year, totaling 42 homes authorized over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 14 during the current FY-26. With an average ratio of 4 new occupants added for each home constructed during those last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new supply falls short of demand, a trend that typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $505,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end residential projects.
Additionally, commercial approvals reached $215,000 this financial year, showing very limited commercial building projects. Glynde produces about 59% of the per capita construction volume seen in Greater Adelaide, placing it in the 70th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, though building activity has quickened lately. New residential construction consists of 56.0% detached houses and 44.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, showing a growing combination of joined housing alternatives that offer choices across various budgets, ranging from large family residences to compact, affordable options. There are approximately 187 individuals for every approved residential dwelling, pointing to a growing market. Future demographic projections suggest Glynde will add 556 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Under the current pace of construction, residential supply could struggle to accommodate this population growth, which may intensify competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

1,091 residents of Glynde are employed, from a labour force of 1,126. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 57.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,525, about 111% 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
Glynde has a highly educated workforce with strong representation in the essential services sectors, an unemployment rate of only 3.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.3% over the prior year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, 1,091 local residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 0.7% lower than the Greater Adelaide level of 3.8%, though labour force participation is much lower at 57.1% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census statistics show that a low 11.2% of residents performed their jobs from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The locality displays a strong concentration in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller share locally at 14.2% compared to the regional benchmark of 17.7%. The ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average volume of local employment options. Based on AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding areas, the 12-month period saw a job growth rate of 5.3% alongside a labour force expansion of 4.8%, leading to a drop of 0.4 percentage points in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2%, the labour force expand by 4.0%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand trends in Glynde. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been aligned with the local industry mix to model potential growth. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific trends to Glynde's employment distribution suggests local jobs will rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, based on a simple weighted projection for illustrative purposes that excludes 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,102 at the 2021 Census → 2,284 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.
