6038, WA 6041, WA

Postcode 6038 and postcode 6041 offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 6038 is a young, relatively affluent area where the typical resident is 31 and weekly personal income is far higher at $977. It has a high proportion of children under 15 (26.7%) and many residents born overseas (46.2%). In contrast, postcode 6041 is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a much higher share of seniors aged 65 and over (27.6%). It is more rural in feel, with a much lower typical weekly income of $567 and a far higher share of homes owned outright (43.2%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their rates of mental health conditions and the number of people per home. This common ground exists alongside a widening gap in household makeup, as postcode 6038 has seen a rise in children and a higher share of renters since 2016. While postcode 6038 is somewhat walkable and well connected to public transport, postcode 6041 is car-dependent, with no public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people.
