6030, WA 6078, WA

Postcode 6030 and postcode 6078 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Postcode 6030 is a large, somewhat walkable hub where 42.4% of people were born overseas and 58.1% have finished Year 12. In contrast, postcode 6078 is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area where 41.2% of homes are owned outright, compared to just 20.1% in postcode 6030. Postcode 6030 is much better connected, with 97.3% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 8.0% of homes in postcode 6078 have the same access.

Both areas are effectively alike in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $800, and they have similar shares of adults working or looking for work. While they share these economic basics, other gaps are shifting. The difference in the share of overseas-born residents has widened since 2011, and the gap in Year 12 completion has also grown. At the same time, the difference in the proportion of people who own their homes outright has narrowed over the last decade.
