6018, WA 6024, WA

Postcode 6018 and postcode 6024 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with a contrasting housing and social mix. Postcode 6018 is more urban and transient, with a far higher share of renters (26.4%) and people who moved in the last five years (41.4%). It is also more academic and affluent, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (38.7%) and a typical weekly family income that is well higher at $2,888. In contrast, postcode 6024 is dominated by detached housing (91.6%) and larger family homes, with 95.2% of houses having three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, the two areas have seen their differences grow, particularly as the gap in university qualifications and family incomes has widened. Despite these shifting trends, they share a very similar social foundation. Both have about the same share of children under 15 (around 19%) and people who speak little or no English (between 1.3% and 1.8%). They also offer almost identical access to transport, with a typical walk to the nearest stop taking just two minutes.
