6061, WA 6066, WA

Postcode 6061 and postcode 6066 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different living patterns. Postcode 6061 is a more transient and diverse hub where 48.6% of people were born overseas and 44% of households are renting. In contrast, postcode 6066 is dominated by home ownership, with 94.4% of homes being separate houses and a far higher share of residents owning their homes outright at 30%. The two areas also differ in their accessibility; postcode 6061 is much more walkable with a 2-minute walk to the nearest stop, while postcode 6066 takes 7 minutes.

The gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, reflecting these diverging trends. Despite this, the two areas remain similar in other ways, such as their unemployment rates (7.1% and 6.3%) and the share of children under 15 (around 19%). Both areas also have a similar proportion of residents who have served in the Defence Force and a nearly identical number of people per bedroom.
