6056, WA 6072, WA

Postcode 6056 and postcode 6072 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6072 is a much wealthier area where 27.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 16.4% in postcode 6056. This gap is seen in the housing too; nearly all homes in postcode 6072 are separate houses (99.3%) and many more are owned outright (40.7%) than in postcode 6056 (28.9%). In contrast, postcode 6056 has a much higher share of renters (28.2% compared to 3.4%) and more one-parent families (18.9% against 7.3%).

Both areas have very similar shares of children under 15, sitting at around 16%. While they share this similar family profile, their daily environments differ.
