6035, WA 6078, WA

Postcode 6035 and postcode 6078 are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Postcode 6035 is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 82.1% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and the typical resident is 35. In contrast, postcode 6078 is a car-dependent area where the typical resident is far older at 43. There are also stark financial differences; postcode 6078 has a much higher share of homes owned outright (41.2% compared to 19.2%) and a higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (27.6% vs 16.9%).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. The age gap has widened, as has the difference in the number of people with no religion, which is now far higher in postcode 6035. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways. They share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $760 to $770, and both have roughly the same proportion of people using another language at home.
