Croydon Enfield

Enfield and Croydon are neighbouring areas in South Australia with very similar population sizes. They differ most in their housing and local services; Enfield has far more separate houses (73.3% compared to 60.3% in Croydon) and larger schools, with an average size of 529 students against Croydon's 309. Croydon is more conveniently laid out for shopping, with 91.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 65.2% in Enfield. Diversity is high in both, but Croydon has a higher share of people who speak another language at home (46.2%) and those who speak little or no English (10.4%).

These areas are almost identical in their share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, both sitting at 2.0%. This common ground exists alongside a general trend of the two places becoming more alike since 2011. The gaps in rental rates, overseas births, and the number of people living alone have all narrowed over time. While Enfield currently has a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (31.3% versus 27.7%), this lead has flipped since 2011.
