6003, WA 6016, WA

Postcode 6016 and postcode 6003 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different living patterns. Postcode 6016 is more family-oriented, with 20.6% of its population being children under 15 and 31.7% of people providing unpaid childcare. It is also wealthier, with 36.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6003 is dominated by single-person households, with 42.8% of people living alone and a much higher share of renters at 60.4%.

Both areas are highly advantageous places to live, sharing a similar typical weekly income of around $1,100. They are also equally well-served by local infrastructure, as every home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of a park and groceries. While they share these core benefits, some gaps are widening; the difference in the number of children and the share of high-income households has grown since 2011.
