6051, WA 6104, WA

Postcode 6104 is more suburban, with separate houses making up 75.4% of homes and 76.8% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6051 is more urban, where flats or apartments are common (35.7%) and a far higher share of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher (40.5% compared to 23.0% in postcode 6104).
