Bayswater Croydon South

Bayswater and Croydon South are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Bayswater is much more diverse, with 35.1% of people born overseas and 31.1% using a language other than English at home. It also has a higher proportion of renters at 33.4% and more variety in housing, as only 62.2% of homes are separate houses. In contrast, Croydon South is dominated by separate houses (92%) and larger homes, with 91% having three or more bedrooms. Croydon South also has higher typical incomes, with 22.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 16.2% in Bayswater.

These two areas are drifting further apart, particularly in their housing and cultural makeup. The gap in the share of separate houses has widened since 2016, as has the difference in the proportion of people born overseas. Despite this, they share a typical resident age of 38 and have almost identical rates of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas also sit near the national figure for people needing help with daily activities.
