Croydon Narungga

Narungga and Croydon are very different South Australian areas. Narungga is far older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 32.8% of people aged 65 and over. It is a place where homes are more likely to be owned outright (49.3%) and are mostly separate houses (93.2%). In contrast, Croydon is much younger and more diverse; its typical resident is 36, and 41.8% of people were born overseas. Croydon has a much higher share of renters (44.4%) and more adults with a university degree (27.7% compared to 8.3% in Narungga).

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, most notably the age difference, which grew from 3 years to 19 years. While they differ in almost every way, they share similar rates of unemployment and a similar proportion of people in de facto relationships. Life in Croydon is more urban, with 96.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of amenities, whereas only 30.1% of Narungga homes have that same access.
