6017, WA 6029, WA

Postcode 6017 and postcode 6029 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6017 is a young, diverse hub where 49.8% of people were born overseas and 40.5% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6029 is much older and wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,779 compared to $1,475 in postcode 6017. Housing also differs sharply; postcode 6029 is dominated by separate houses (86.6%) and outright ownership (45.8%), while postcode 6017 has a high share of renters (54.6%) and more apartments and townhouses.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, especially the difference in typical incomes and the share of people born overseas. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas are almost identical in their share of residents with long-term health conditions, which sits around 23% for both. They also share a similar connection to the rest of the city, with nearly every home in both areas located within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
