The 1931 census revealed that despite Glasgow's shifting boundaries, overall population growth had been relatively insignificant, with the result that levels of congestion had fallen to 90 persons per hectare. Since 1919 over 35,000 municipal houses had been erected, notably in Knightswood, Carntyne and Scotstoun.

In total 3,918 hectares (just over 15 square miles) were annexed, with effect from 1938. Glasgow now extended over 16,077 hectares (over 62 square miles), with congestion levels at 79 persons per hectare. The new communities included Drumchapel and Castlemilk, as well as Darnley and Penilee in the southwest and Summerston, in the north.
