6004, WA 6100, WA

Postcode 6100 and postcode 6004 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and demographics. Postcode 6004 is far more diverse, with 55.6% of people born overseas and 38.0% using another language at home. It is also dominated by apartments, with only 3.8% of homes being separate houses. In contrast, postcode 6100 has more family-oriented housing, with 58.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a much higher share of separate houses at 43.0%. Postcode 6100 also has more children, with 13.3% of the population under 15, compared to 7.5% in postcode 6004.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across several measures. There are now more differences in the share of people born overseas and those who use another language at home. Despite this, they remain very similar in other ways; both areas have a similar typical weekly household income—around $1,900 to $2,000—and an almost identical proportion of people aged 65 and over. Both also sit well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
