6056, WA 6071, WA

Postcode 6056 and postcode 6071 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6071 is more affluent, with 30.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 16.4% in postcode 6056. Education levels are also much higher in postcode 6071, where 28.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 14.3% do so in postcode 6056. Postcode 6056 is more transient and urban, with a higher share of renters (28.2% compared to 6.1%) and a much higher proportion of people who moved in the last five years (36.4% versus 23.9%).

Since 2011, the gaps across many of these measures have widened. For example, the difference in home ownership and university qualifications has grown over the last decade. Despite these shifts, the two areas share some similarities, such as nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people born overseas. They also have similar rates of commuting by public transport, though postcode 6056 is far more walkable (somewhat walkable) than the mostly car-dependent postcode 6071.
