6005, WA 6008, WA

Postcode 6008 and postcode 6005 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and population profiles. Postcode 6008 is more likely to have separate houses (48.1% compared to 9.0% in postcode 6005) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms. Families are more common here, with 27.4% of people caring for children unpaid, and the typical resident is older at 40. In contrast, postcode 6005 is dominated by flats and apartments, where 63.5% of households rent. It is a younger area with a much higher share of people born overseas (47.1%) and those who use another language at home (29.7%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also share similar typical weekly incomes and unemployment rates. While they are alike in these respects, the gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, and the difference in the number of people moving into the area over the last five years has also grown.
