6000, WA 6007, WA

Postcode 6000 is a high-density hub where 65.3% of homes are rented and 79.4% are flats or apartments. It is very diverse, with 49.6% of people born overseas and 34.6% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6007 has more family-style living, with 45.3% of homes being separate houses and a much higher share of three-bedroom properties (52.7% compared to 19.5% in postcode 6000).
