6003, WA 6052, WA

Postcode 6052 and postcode 6003 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and family profiles. Postcode 6052 is a more family-oriented area where 73.4% of homes are separate houses and 31.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6003 is dominated by flats or apartments, which make up 65.4% of dwellings, and it has a much higher share of renters at 60.4%. This difference in living style is reflected in the population; postcode 6052 has far more children under 15 (17.5% compared to 7.7%) and a higher number of people caring for children unpaid (29.0% against 13.6%).

Everyday life in both places shares a similar level of overall advantage and a high degree of accessibility, with 100% of homes in both areas within a 10 minute walk of public transport. They also have almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of separate houses has grown to 59 percentage points. Meanwhile, the gap in overseas birth rates has narrowed, though it remains far higher in postcode 6003, where 44.2% of people were born abroad.
