6053, WA 6100, WA

Postcode 6100 and postcode 6053 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with similar population sizes, but they offer very different living environments. Postcode 6100 is more transient and diverse, with 23.2% of residents arriving recently from overseas and 48.3% of homes being rented. It is also more walkable, with 89.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 6053 is dominated by home ownership, where 80.1% of dwellings are separate houses and 74.9% of homes have three or more bedrooms.

These differences in housing have become more pronounced, as the gap in the share of separate houses has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar feel in other ways; they have almost identical rates of volunteering and the same typical weekly rent of $350. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for adults with a bachelor degree or higher, though this qualification is slightly more common in postcode 6100.
