6056, WA 6083, WA

Postcode 6056 and postcode 6083 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 6056 is a denser hub where residents are more likely to rent (28.2%) and live alone (30.0%). It is described as somewhat walkable, with 91.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 6083 is a car-dependent area where 98.2% of homes are separate houses and the typical resident is far older at 48. This area also has more high-income households, with 30.4% earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both areas are similar in the share of people aged 65 and over, which sits around 18%.
