6053, WA 6062, WA

Postcode 6062 and postcode 6053 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with distinct social profiles. Postcode 6062 is much more culturally diverse, with 41.3% of people born overseas and 34.0% using a language other than English at home. It also has more large homes, with 89.6% having three or more bedrooms, and is more walkable, as 90.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 6053 is wealthier and more highly qualified; the typical household income is $2,037 a week, which is well higher than the $1,617 seen in postcode 6062, and a higher share of adults hold a bachelor degree or more (34.8% compared to 22.8%).

Both areas share a similar daily rhythm, with nearly identical typical weekly rents of around $350 and the same 10-minute drive time to the city. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps have widened since 2011. The difference in typical household income has grown, and the gap in people with no religion has increased, with that figure now far higher in postcode 6053 at 48.0%.
