6022, WA 6061, WA

Postcode 6061 and postcode 6022 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6061 is a diverse hub where 48.6% of people were born overseas and 47.1% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6022 is more established and wealthier, with a much higher share of homes owned outright (39.9% compared to 18.9%) and far more separate houses. While postcode 6061 has a higher proportion of renters at 44.0%, postcode 6022 is dominated by larger family homes, with 96.2% having three or more bedrooms.

The gap in cultural diversity has widened since 2011, with the difference in the share of overseas-born residents growing to 20.3%. Despite this, the two areas are similar in other ways; both are considered somewhat walkable and have almost the same proportion of children under 15. They also both provide nearly universal access to parks and public transport within a short walk, though postcode 6022 has far better access to health services.
