6004, WA 6051, WA

Postcode 6051 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 38.1% and 24.1% in postcode 6051. The two areas also differ in their homes; separate houses are far more common in postcode 6051 (31.0% versus 3.8%), while flats or apartments dominate postcode 6004. This difference is consistent with the higher share of renters in postcode 6004, where 61.4% of households rent.

Daily life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical typical weekly family incomes and unemployment rates. Both areas are very walkable, though postcode 6004 has a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Over time, the gap in overseas births and language use has widened, and postcode 6004 has seen its share of recent overseas arrivals grow far faster than postcode 6051.
