Postcode comparison ≈ 63 km apart · 6044, WA profile · 6511, WA profile

6044, WA 6511, WA

Postcode 6044 and postcode 6511 are both small Western Australian areas with distinct profiles. Postcode 6044 is much more diverse, with 26.2% of people born overseas and 32.3% arriving from abroad recently. In contrast, postcode 6511 is more compact and accessible; 90.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and it has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people. Postcode 6044 is the only one of the two where people can walk to groceries, a service available to 61.7% of its homes.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas, though postcode 6044 is slightly below it. They are very similar in other ways, including the typical weekly household income and the number of people per home. However, some gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in overseas arrivals and the share of people who use another language at home, which is now well higher in postcode 6044.
