6056, WA 6084, WA

Postcode 6084 and postcode 6056 are two different types of residential areas in Greater Perth. Postcode 6084 is a car-dependent area where almost every home (99.4%) is a separate house, and residents have a much higher access to money and resources. In contrast, postcode 6056 is somewhat walkable and has a much higher share of renters (28.2%) and people living alone (30.0%). While postcode 6056 has far more public transport stops and a higher number of schools per child, postcode 6084 has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more per week.

These areas share a typical resident age of 40 and similar levels of overall advantage. However, the gap in the number of people living alone has widened since 2011, and the difference in rental rates has also increased. Postcode 6056 is more diverse, with a higher share of people using another language at home and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population compared to postcode 6084.
