6003, WA 6151, WA

In contrast, postcode 6003 is much younger and more transient, where the typical resident is just 33 and 60.4% of households are renting. There is also a notable gap in wealth and diversity; postcode 6151 has a much higher share of high-income households earning over $3,000 a week (33.4%), while postcode 6003 has a far higher proportion of people born overseas (44.2%) and those using another language at home (29.2%).
