Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Glenelg (Vic.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Glenelg (Vic.) has an estimated 8,777 residents, down from 8,920 at the 2021 Census — a change of 143 people, or 1.6%. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 research by AreaSearch, the resident count in Glenelg stands at approximately 8,777 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 8,920 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a net reduction of 143 people (1.6%). This demographic shift is calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 8,775 alongside 93 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With a resulting density of 1.4 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial physical room for its inhabitants. Glenelg's -1.6% contraction closely aligns with the wider SA3 area (-1.0%), tracking within 0.6 percentage points and reflecting broader regional demographic headwinds.

Net overseas migration served as practically the exclusive source of demographic additions across recent timeframes. SA2 projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia (using 2022 as baseline data) form the foundation of AreaSearch's forward estimates. Where SA2 coverage is absent, figures from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset are integrated via weighted aggregation models shifting LGA trajectories to SA2 boundaries. Age-bracket growth rates derived through this method are similarly projected across all regions from 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, population trajectory is slated to sit slightly under the median for Australian regional non-metropolitan districts, expanding by 470 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines, translating to a cumulative 5.3% expansion across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Glenelg (Vic.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

113 new dwellings have been approved in Glenelg (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential building approvals in Glenelg average approximately 22 dwellings annually, totaling 113 homes across the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 through FY-26). Set against recent demographic declines, residential supply additions remain sound in relative terms to the advantage of prospective purchasers, with new builds registering an average construction value of $436,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $9.2 million during this financial year, underscoring the dominant residential focus of the locality. Per capita building volumes in Glenelg sit 16.0% below the Rest of Vic. benchmark, placing the region in the 26th percentile nationally, which restricts buyer choice and bolsters demand across the established property market.

This subdued pipeline trails countrywide averages, pointing toward local market maturity alongside potential regulatory constraints. Furthermore, recent residential approvals have comprised separate houses exclusively, reinforcing low-density neighborhoods oriented around family residences for space-oriented buyers. An average ratio of 550 people for every approved dwelling underlines a subdued, quiet construction environment. Long-term forecasts anticipate Glenelg absorbing 466 additional inhabitants through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At prevailing rates of residential construction, emerging housing volume appears well placed to satisfy demographic requirements, supporting buyer opportunities and potentially accommodating growth beyond existing 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 — 93 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,920 at the 2021 Census → 8,777 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (217011420). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Glenelg (Vic.) SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Glenelg (Vic.) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Glenelg (Vic.) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
