6000, WA 6006, WA

Postcode 6000 and postcode 6006 are neighbouring areas in Perth with very different housing and populations. Postcode 6000 is a high-density hub where 65.3% of homes are rented and 79.4% are flats or apartments. It is a diverse area where 49.6% of people were born overseas and 34.6% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6006 is more suburban, with 65.4% of residents living in separate houses and 67.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms. It also has a higher share of families, with 26.9% of people providing unpaid childcare, compared to just 12.0% in postcode 6000.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to typical weekly personal income, which is around $1,140, and they both have a high level of education and job skills. This shared economic profile exists even as other gaps shift; for example, the difference in the share of renters has widened since 2011. While postcode 6000 has far more public transport options and a higher proportion of people who have moved recently, both areas are’ equally well-served by parks and transport stops within a short walk.
