6031, WA 6077, WA

Postcode 6031 and postcode 6077 are nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6031 is a young, family-heavy area where the typical resident is 32 and 25.2% of people are children under 15. It is somewhat walkable, with 89.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 6077 is much older, with a typical age of 55 and 32.2% of residents aged 65 and over. It is car-dependent, and homes are far more likely to be owned outright (58.3% compared to 12.7% in postcode 6031).

Both areas share a similar level of overall advantage, each sitting right around the national figure. They also have almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (1.6%) and people who speak little or no English. However, the gap between them has grown in several areas since 2011, most notably in the age of residents and the share of seniors, and the number of people who identify as having no religion is now far higher in postcode 6031.
