6037, WA 6041, WA

Postcode 6037 and postcode 6041 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different demographics and layouts. Postcode 6037 is more active and accessible, with 42.9% of people moving in recently and a typical age of 39. It is mostly car-dependent, though it is far more walkable than its neighbour, with many more public transport stops and homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and groceries. In contrast, postcode 6041 is much older, with a typical age of 51 and a far higher share of seniors at 27.6%. Residents there are also more likely to own their homes outright, at 43.2% compared to 27.0% in postcode 6037.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, with the gaps in age, home ownership and population movement all widening. Despite this, they share a few common traits, such as having almost the same proportion of people born overseas (around 28%) and a very similar housing style, with detached houses making up over 99% of homes in both. They also track closely on typical monthly home-loan payments, which are around $1,700 to $1,800.
