6056, WA 6081, WA

Postcode 6056 and postcode 6081 are two nearby areas with very different layouts and demographics. Postcode 6056 is a larger, more walkable area where 28.2% of households rent and 30% of people live alone. In contrast, postcode 6081 is much more car-dependent, with a high concentration of separate houses (99.9%) and a much higher share of high-earners, with 29.3% of households bringing in $3,000 or more a week compared to 16.4% in postcode 6056.

Daily life in both places is similar in terms of the typical advantage score of their schools and the share of residents who have served in the Defence Force. However, the gap in wealth and housing types has widened since 2011. Postcode 6081 has seen a growing lead in the number of large homes and high-income households, while the difference in the number of people living alone has also increased over the last decade.
