Postcode comparison ≈ 3.1 km apart · 6004, WA profile · 6050, WA profile

6004, WA 6050, WA

Postcode 6050 and postcode 6004 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and cultural profiles. Postcode 6004 is far more diverse, with 55.6% of people born overseas and 38.0% using another language at home, compared to 30.1% and 15.5% in postcode 6050. The two areas also differ in their homes; 56.1% of dwellings in postcode 6050 are separate houses, while postcode 6004 is dominated by flats or apartments. This contrast extends to renting, which is far higher in postcode 6004 at 61.4% compared to 31.2% in postcode 6050.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has grown in several key ways. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents and people using other languages at home has widened, and postcode 6004 has become even more transient, with a far higher share of people who moved in the last five years. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in some ways. Both areas have a highly qualified workforce, with typical weekly incomes around $2,000 and a very high share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher.
