In the 2016 census the locality of Glenden had a population of 620 people, but the population subsequently declined rapidly, when the local mine changed its roster to a seven-days-on, seven-days-off roster, and is expected to continue to do so. Many residents are relocating to towns like Proserpine that offer a more stable environment.
