6017, WA 6018, WA

Postcode 6018 and postcode 6017 are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 6018 is a wealthier area where 33.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, and homes are more likely to be separate houses (65.6%) with three or more bedrooms (80.5%). In contrast, postcode 6017 has a much higher proportion of renters (54.6%) and a far higher share of people born overseas (49.8% compared to 31.8% in postcode 6018).

Their differences in cultural diversity have become more pronounced, as the gap in people using another language at home has widened to 23 percentage points since 2011. Despite this, both areas are very walkable and share similar levels of unemployment. They also have nearly identical proportions of one-parent families and very similar access to parks, with almost every home in both places within a 15-minute walk of one.
