6026, WA 6028, WA

Postcode 6028 and postcode 6026 are both large residential areas in Greater Perth, but they differ in their diversity and layout. Postcode 6028 is far more diverse, with 49.0% of people born overseas compared to 34.1% in postcode 6026. It is also more compact for shoppers, as 84.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while only 59.4% of homes in postcode 6026 have that access. Postcode 6026 has a notably older population, with seniors making up 21.0% of residents compared to 11.9% in postcode 6028, and far more homes are owned outright there (41.1% versus 28.5%).

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, as they share nearly identical proportions of children under 15, people with university degrees, and typical monthly mortgage payments. They also have almost the same number of people per home. Over time, some of the gaps have closed; for example, the difference in the typical age of residents has narrowed from six years in 2011 to just three years today.
