Croydon Croydon Hills

Croydon (Vic.) and Croydon Hills are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Croydon Hills is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,437 a week, far higher than the $1,615 in Croydon (Vic.). This difference is seen in the homes; 98% of dwellings in Croydon Hills have three or more bedrooms, compared to 70.2% in Croydon (Vic.). While Croydon Hills is dominated by separate houses, Croydon (Vic.) has a much higher share of renters at 26.4% and more people living alone.

A gap in the age of residents is widening, with people in Croydon Hills now noticeably older. Despite this, the two areas share a similar proportion of children under 15 and nearly identical unemployment rates. They also both have an equal share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. Both areas sit above the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, though this is slightly more common in Croydon Hills.
