6100, WA 6101, WA

Postcode 6101 has more larger homes, with separate houses making up 66.4% of dwellings and 73.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6100 is more concentrated, with a much higher share of flats or apartments and only 58.5% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Postcode 6100 also has a more significant education hub, with far more school enrolments (3,205) and a much higher number of schools per 1,000 children.
