6028, WA 6036, WA

Postcode 6028 and postcode 6036 are two nearby suburbs in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6028 is an older and wealthier area, where the typical resident is 41 and 37% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6036 is far younger with a typical age of 33, and it is much more transient, with 44% of people having moved in the last five years. Postcode 6028 also has a higher share of university degrees (25.1%) and more homes owned outright (28.5%), while renting is far more common in postcode 6036, where 31.1% of homes are rented.
