6004, WA 6052, WA

Postcode 6004 and postcode 6052 are neighbouring areas with similar populations, but they offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 6004 is a high-density hub where 89.8% of homes are flats or apartments and 61.4% of households rent. It is much more diverse and transient, with 55.6% of people born overseas and 65.3% moving there in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 6052 is dominated by separate houses (73.4%), with many more families and children; 17.5% of its population is under 15, compared to just 7.5% in postcode 6004.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also share a similar typical weekly household income of around $2,000 and both have excellent access to parks and public transport. However, the gap in how people live is widening; the difference in the share of renters and the number of large, three-plus bedroom homes has grown since 2011.
