Croydon Croydon Park

Croydon Park and Croydon are neighbouring areas in Sydney with similar populations, though they differ in their social and professional makeup. Croydon has a higher share of university graduates, with 39.9% holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 30.5% in Croydon Park. Residents in Croydon are also more likely to earn high incomes, with 33.3% of households making $3,000 or more a week, compared to 27.6% in Croydon Park. While Croydon is more likely to be secular—with 37.1% of people reporting no religion versus 25.0% in Croydon Park—Croydon Park has a larger First Nations population and a higher share of people who speak a First Nations language.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people living alone, with Croydon Park at 26.3% and Croydon at 22.7%. They are also very alike in their typical weekly personal incomes and the number of people per home. These commonalities exist alongside a growing gap in education and income, as the difference in university qualifications and high-earning households has widened since 2011.
