6017, WA 6021, WA

Postcode 6021 and postcode 6017 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and income profiles. Postcode 6021 is more established and affluent, where 67.9% of homes are separate houses and 24.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6017 is dominated by smaller homes and renters, with 54.6% of households renting and a much higher share of people living alone at 44.3%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, with the gaps in rental rates and overseas arrivals widening. However, they remain very walkable and share a similar level of job skills. Both areas are far more diverse than the national figure, as a huge proportion of people in both postcodes were born overseas—38.4% in postcode 6021 and 49.8% in postcode 6017.
