6156, WA 6160, WA

Postcode 6156 and postcode 6160 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 6156 is a family-oriented area where 81.7% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 31.0% of people provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, postcode 6160 is more transient and urban, with 40.6% of people living alone and 41.5% of households renting. Postcode 6160 also has much better access to amenities, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and a far higher number of public transport stops and departures.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of children under 15, with postcode 6156 at 19.1% and postcode 6160 at 10.7%. They also share similar typical weekly personal incomes, around $1,000, and have nearly the same proportion of volunteers. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in the number of people living alone has grown since 2011, as has the gap in people reporting no religion.
