6059, WA 6060, WA

Postcode 6060 and postcode 6059 are neighbouring areas with similar total populations, but they offer very different lifestyles. Postcode 6060 is a younger, more transient hub where 49.1% of people moved in the last five years, and 42% of homes are rented. It is more walkable, with 97.1% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, postcode 6059 is more established and family-oriented, with residents who are noticeably older (typical age 43) and a far higher share of separate houses (71.5% compared to 37.2% in postcode 6060). Homes here are also larger, with 82.9% having three or more bedrooms.

These two areas share a very similar financial profile, with the typical weekly household income being almost identical at around $1,650. They also have similar rates of volunteering and a nearly identical share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. However, some gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in typical age and the share of adults with a bachelor degree, which is now well higher in postcode 6060.
