6158, WA 6160, WA

Postcode 6160 is a more transient and renter-heavy area, with 41.5% of homes rented and 50.2% of people having moved in within the last five years. It has far more schools and public transport options, with 6.07 schools per 1,000 children compared to just 0.73 in postcode 6158. In contrast, postcode 6158 is more established and affluent; it has a far higher share of separate houses (66.1% versus 39.9%) and a higher typical weekly household income of $2,288 compared to $1,822 in postcode 6160.

Both areas sit near the national average for their overall advantage score.
