6055, WA 6066, WA

Postcode 6055 and postcode 6066 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different social profiles. Postcode 6055 is a younger, more mobile area where 48% of people moved in the last five years, and it has a higher share of high earners, with 24.4% of households making $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6066 is more established and walkable; it has a far higher share of homes owned outright (30.0% compared to 16.7% in postcode 6055) and a much larger proportion of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (52.7% versus 13.7%).

Both areas are remarkably similar in their cultural makeup, with around 37% of residents born overseas and about 30% using a language other than English at home. They also share a very similar housing style, as both are almost entirely made up of separate houses. While they have these common threads, the gap in household income and education levels has widened since 2011, with postcode 6055 moving further ahead in both measures.
