6101, WA 6147, WA

Postcode 6101 is a younger and more affluent area, where 37.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 26.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 6147 is more diverse and established, with a far higher share of people born overseas (49.0%) and a much larger proportion of homes owned outright (33.7%).
