6061, WA 6067, WA

Postcode 6061 and postcode 6067 are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Postcode 6061 is a large community where 48.6% of people were born overseas and 47.1% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6067 is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with 60.0% of residents identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. There are also sharp gaps in education and income; a typical weekly personal income in postcode 6061 is $713, which is far higher than the $341 seen in postcode 6067.

Both areas share very similar levels of overall disadvantage and have nearly identical access to money and resources. While they face similar broad challenges, the gaps between them are often widening. For example, the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown since 2011, and the gap in Year 12 completion has increased significantly. Both areas sit well below the national figure for typical weekly household income.
