6056, WA 6057, WA

Postcode 6056 and postcode 6057 are nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and amenity profiles. Postcode 6057 has a much higher proportion of separate houses (96.6% compared to 79.9% in postcode 6056) and far more homes with three or more bedrooms. It is also easier to get to shops and health services on foot, with 78.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 66.3% in postcode 6056. In contrast, postcode 6056 is more diverse, with a well higher share of people using another language at home (13.2% vs 8.6%), and has far more public transport stops and schools.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care. They are also very similar in terms of education, with roughly the same percentage of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. While the two areas share these traits, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical weekly rent has grown to $80, and the gap in the share of separate houses has increased since 2011.
