Postcode comparison ≈ 13 km apart · 6112, WA profile · 6155, WA profile

6112, WA 6155, WA

Postcode 6112 and postcode 6155 are two large, nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6155 is much more affluent and qualified, with 33.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 21.2% in postcode 6112. This wealth is reflected in home ownership, as 33.5% of homes in postcode 6155 are owned outright, which is far higher than the 17.8% in postcode 6112. Postcode 6155 is also far more walkable and connected; most of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services (80.7%) and groceries (75.1%), while postcode 6112 has much lower shares for both (47.8% and 51.5%).

These differences in wealth and housing have grown, with the gap in outright home ownership widening since 2011. However, other divides are shrinking, such as the gap in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways, with nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes and unemployment rates. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
