6073, WA 6076, WA

Postcode 6076 and postcode 6073 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with a few distinct differences. Postcode 6076 is much larger and has a more qualified workforce, with 62.1% of residents finishing Year 12 and 25.8% holding a bachelor degree or higher. It is also better connected to local amenities, with 90% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 70.1% within walking distance of a school. In contrast, postcode 6073 is smaller and has a notably older population, with a typical resident aged 50 and 28% of people aged 65 or over.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. They also share very similar housing patterns, such as the proportion of homes owned outright and typical weekly rents. While the gap in home sizes has narrowed since 2011, other differences have grown; for example, the gap in the share of people with no religion has widened, and the difference in the proportion of adults working or looking for work has also increased.
