Croydon Croydon North

Croydon (Vic.) and Croydon North are neighbouring areas with very different housing and income profiles. Croydon North is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,156 and 29.8% of homes earning $3,000 or more a week. It is dominated by larger detached houses, with 88.4% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Croydon (Vic.) has more diverse housing, including more townhouses and flats, and a higher proportion of people living alone at 30.0%.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share almost identical rates of volunteering, unpaid care, and children under 15. However, the two areas differ in how people get around. Croydon (Vic.) is much more connected, with far more public transport departures and better access to schools and health services within a 15-minute walk. While both are well above the national figure for people born overseas, Croydon (Vic.) has a slightly higher share of residents who use another language at home.
