6021, WA 6022, WA

Postcode 6021 and postcode 6022 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different living patterns. Postcode 6021 is much more diverse, with 38.4% of people born overseas and 34.8% using a language other than English at home. It is also more urban, where 89.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 6022 is dominated by detached houses (90.5%) and is more likely to have residents who identify as having no religion (43.9%).

Since 2011, some of these gaps have shifted, such as the difference in home languages and the share of volunteers, while the gap in detached housing has widened. Despite these trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly household incomes—around $1,800 to $1,850—and have nearly the same number of people per home. Both areas also see a similar share of residents providing unpaid care, which sits at about 12%.
