6150, WA 6166, WA

Postcode 6166 and postcode 6150 are two nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6150 is a highly walkable hub with a strong international feel, where 44.3% of people were born overseas and 39.4% hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 6166 is more car-dependent, with a longer 35-minute drive to the city and a smaller share of residents born overseas at 28.9%. This gap in qualifications is also stark, as only 19.1% of adults in postcode 6166 have a bachelor degree or higher.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several key measures. The gap in the use of languages other than English has widened, while the difference in Year 12 completion rates has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they share a very similar economic baseline; typical weekly household incomes are almost identical at around $2,112 to $2,119. They also both have similar shares of people providing unpaid care, at 12.1% each.
