With a 2021 Census population of 58 residents, it is a quiet farming community in the Glenelg Shire area near the South Australian border.

Portland, approximately 80 kilometres east, also provides access to coastal services and port facilities. A private vehicle is essential; there is no public transport. The border region's rural lifestyle, combined with access to the volcanic lakes and coastline of the South West, characterises life in Greenwald.
