Croydon Dunstan

Croydon and Dunstan are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct profiles. Croydon is more culturally diverse, with 41.8% of people born overseas and 46.2% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Dunstan has a more highly qualified workforce, where 44.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 27.7% in Croydon. This gap in education is reflected in incomes; the typical weekly personal income in Dunstan is $918, which is well higher than the $663 seen in Croydon.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart across several measures. While they share similar rates of full-time employment and nearly identical access to public transport, the gaps in typical incomes and university qualifications have widened significantly. At the same time, the difference in cultural backgrounds has grown, with Croydon now far higher in both the share of overseas births and the use of other languages at home.
