Postcode comparison ≈ 4.4 km apart · 6050, WA profile · 6059, WA profile

6050, WA 6059, WA

Postcode 6059 and postcode 6050 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with distinct profiles. Postcode 6059 is more diverse and residential, with 32.3% of people using another language at home and 82.9% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6050 is a wealthier hub where 43.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and typical weekly family incomes are well higher at $3,241, compared to $2,257 in postcode 6059.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two neighbours have generally widened, particularly regarding income, education, and the share of people who do not follow a religion. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain very similar in some ways. They share the same number of public transport routes, have nearly identical unemployment rates, and every single home in both areas is within a 15-minute walk of a park.
