6016, WA 6017, WA

Postcode 6016 and postcode 6017 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6016 is wealthier and more family-oriented, with 36.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 20.6% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, postcode 6017 has a much higher proportion of people born overseas (49.8% compared to 34.2% in postcode 6016) and a higher share of renters, at 54.6%. While postcode 6016 has more separate houses, postcode 6017 is dominated by townhouses and apartments.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. This is seen in the growing difference in household incomes and the increasing share of overseas-born residents and non-English speakers in postcode 6017. Despite these diverging trends, both areas share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 1.0%, and the share of people working full-time is nearly identical in both places, sitting around 59%.
