According to the 2016 census, Croydon had a population of 10,389 people.
It did not have the same level of high density housing found in its neighbours Ashfield and Burwood.
56.3% of dwellings were separate houses with 26.6% apartments and 15.7% terraces, semis or townhouses.
The median age of people in the suburb was slightly older (40) than the rest of Sydney and a higher percentage of people owned their homes outright (36.2%) than those paying them off (30.2%).
Average loan repayments ($2400 per month) were much higher than the national figure ($1,755).

Croydon still retains many of the characteristics of the broader Inner West region of Sydney, including a high proportion of residents born overseas.
53.8% of people were born in Australia.
The most common countries of birth were China (excludes SARs and Taiwan) 10.9%, Italy 4.0%, Lebanon 2.1%, England 1.9% and Vietnam 1.9%.
49.8% of people spoke only English at home.
Other languages spoken at home included Mandarin 10.9%, Cantonese 6.1%, Italian 5.6%, Arabic 4.2% and Greek 3.1%.
The most common responses for religion were Catholic 31.3%, No Religion 29.9%, and Anglican 7.7%.
