6158, WA 6162, WA

Postcode 6162 and postcode 6158 are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with distinct profiles. Postcode 6162 is a more connected hub for families and commuters, with 2.58 schools per 1,000 children and a high volume of public transport departures. In contrast, postcode 6158 is wealthier and more walkable, with a typical household income of $3,000 or more being far more common and a much higher density of walkable amenities. Postcode 6162 is also more diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas (30.2%) and more residents who use a language other than English at home (14.6%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share very similar patterns in the proportion of adults working or looking for work, the unemployment rate, and the percentage of residents aged 65 and over. While they have a lot in common, some differences are shifting; for example, the gap in the number of people born overseas has narrowed since 2011, while the difference in the share of people in de facto relationships has widened.
