Covering around 14 square kilometres, this quiet locality sits within the Blair federal electorate and the Nanango state electorate. With a population of just 11 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Glenfern is one of Queensland's smallest localities by population, characterised by agricultural land and bushland scenery typical of the South Burnett hinterland.

The township of Nanango, the nearest service centre, provides essential shops, schools, and community facilities. The area has a median postcode income around $47,000, reflective of the rural and agricultural workforce.
