6000, WA 6003, WA

Postcode 6000 and postcode 6003 are neighbouring inner-city areas with very different scales of infrastructure. Postcode 6000 is a major transit and education hub, with 172 public transport stops and a far larger school presence, including 2,449 enrolments. It is also more diverse and international, with 49.6% of people born overseas and 34.6% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6003 has a slightly higher share of separate houses (14.5%) and a higher proportion of adults working or looking for work at 72.6%.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, though some gaps are widening. While they share a typical resident age of 33 and very similar typical weekly household incomes, postcode 6000 has seen its lead in overseas births and language diversity grow. The gap in rental rates has also flipped, with postcode 6000 now well higher at 65.3%.
