6003, WA 6008, WA

Postcode 6008 and postcode 6003 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6008 is a more family-oriented area where homes are more likely to be separate houses, with 48.1% compared to 14.5% in postcode 6003. This is reflected in the population, with children under 15 being well higher in postcode 6008 (16.3% vs 7.7%) and a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (27.4% vs 13.6%). Postcode 6008 also has a wealthier profile, with 36.7% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 21.8% in postcode 6003.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while becoming more alike in others. The gap in home ownership and high incomes has widened, and postcode 6008 has become far more likely to have seniors than postcode 6003. However, they have grown more similar in their levels of language diversity, as the gap in people using another language at home has narrowed. Both areas remain highly accessible, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, and health services.
