Postcode comparison ≈ 20 km apart · 6081, WA profile · 6082, WA profile

6081, WA 6082, WA

Postcode 6081 and postcode 6082 are two nearby areas in Western Australia that differ most in their school and home environments. Postcode 6082 has far larger school enrolments, with 925 students compared to 460 in postcode 6081, and its typical school is much bigger. Postcode 6081 is more connected, with far more street intersections per square kilometre, while postcode 6082 is more car-dependent, as its residents face a far longer walk to the nearest transport stop. Postcode 6081 also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 20.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 15.7% in postcode 6082.

Some of these differences have become more pronounced over time, such as the gap in high-income households which has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a very similar demographic profile, with nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. Both areas sit far above the national figure for people with no religion, and they are effectively alike in the percentage of residents who provide unpaid care or have a long-term health condition.
