6007, WA 6050, WA

Postcode 6050 and postcode 6007 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with distinct profiles. Postcode 6007 is more transient and walkable, with 54.1% of people moving in during the last five years and nearly 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, postcode 6050 has a larger proportion of separate houses (56.1% compared to 45.3%) and a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 41.
