6005, WA 6151, WA

Postcode 6151 and postcode 6005 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and population profiles. Postcode 6005 is much more transient and urban, where 67.3% of people moved in the last five years and 63.5% of homes are rented. In contrast, postcode 6151 has a more settled feel, with 32% of homes owned outright and a far higher share of separate houses (44.6% compared to just 9% in postcode 6005). Postcode 6005 also has a much larger proportion of overseas-born residents (47.1%) and people who use another language at home (29.7%).

Both areas are almost identical in their overall advantage scores, which sit slightly above the national average. They also share a high level of accessibility, with nearly every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. While they share these basics, the gap in renting and overseas births has widened since 2011, while the difference in the share of children under 15 has narrowed.
