Croydon Florey

Croydon and Florey are neighbouring areas in South Australia with distinct housing and cultural profiles. Croydon is much more diverse and walkable, with 46.2% of people using a language other than English at home and 91.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Florey is dominated by larger homes, with separate houses making up 82.4% of dwellings compared to 60.3% in Croydon. Florey also has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (83.8% versus 65.4%) and more people caring for children unpaid.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions regarding their diversity and housing. The gap in the share of people born overseas has narrowed significantly, while the difference in the number of detached houses has widened. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which sit at $1,426 in Croydon and $1,392 in Florey.
