6100, WA 6104, WA

Postcode 6100 and postcode 6104 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with similar population sizes, but they differ in how people live and work. Postcode 6100 is more urban and professional, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (39.2% compared to 23.0%) and more people earning $2,000 or more a week (19.7% versus 13.3%). This is reflected in the housing and layout; postcode 6104 has far more separate houses (75.4% versus 43.0%) and larger homes, while postcode 6100 has far better access to groceries and health services within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly rent of $350. They also share a similar proportion of people who speak little or no English and a similar rate of full-time employment. However, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in university qualifications and the number of people moving into the area in the last five years have both grown since 2011.
