6004, WA 6101, WA

Postcode 6101 and postcode 6004 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and social profiles. Postcode 6101 is more likely to have separate houses, with 66.4% compared to just 3.8% in postcode 6004, where flats or apartments dominate. This is reflected in home sizes, as homes with three or more bedrooms are far higher in postcode 6101 (73.5%) than in postcode 6004 (26.7%). Postcode 6004 is more multicultural and transient, with 55.6% of people born overseas and 65.3% having moved in the last five years, which is far higher than the 35.4% born overseas and 46.3% who moved recently in postcode 6101.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, from a typical resident age of 35 to nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,000. They also have the same rate of adults working or looking for work at 70.0%. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home has grown since 2011. While both are more diverse than the national figure, the gap between them in these areas continues to increase.
