6051, WA 6054, WA

Postcode 6054 and postcode 6051 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and education profiles. Postcode 6054 is more suburban, where 79.2% of homes are separate houses and 82.5% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6051 has far more apartments and townhouses, with 49.2% of households renting. Education levels also differ sharply; 40.5% of adults in postcode 6051 hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 23.4% in postcode 6054. This link to higher education is consistent with postcode 6051 having a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 17.4%.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in some ways while remaining similar in others. The gap in university qualifications has widened, and the difference in the number of people living alone has stayed steady. Despite these shifts, they share a very similar typical weekly household income of around $1,600 and nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments of $1,733. Both areas also provide excellent access to nature, with almost every home within a 15-minute walk of a park.
