6028, WA 6038, WA

Postcode 6028 and postcode 6038 are nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6028 is a more affluent and established area, where 37% of households earn $3,000 or more a week and 28.5% of homes are owned outright. It is also much more walkable, with 84.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 6038 is far younger and more transient, with a typical resident aged 31 compared to 41 in postcode 6028. A majority of its residents—57.8%—have moved in within the last five years, and 28.3% of its homes are rented.

These two areas have grown apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in typical age has widened, and there is now a larger difference in the share of households earning top incomes and owning their homes outright. Despite these diverging trends, they share some common ground: typical weekly personal incomes are nearly identical at around $960 to $977, and both have very similar proportions of people who speak a language other than English at home.
