6164, WA 6166, WA

Postcode 6164 and postcode 6166 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different layouts and demographics. Postcode 6164 is a much younger and more connected area, where the typical resident is 34 and 60.1% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, postcode 6166 is far older, with a typical age of 42 and far fewer amenities within walking distance, as only 1.3% of homes are near health services. There is also a notable gap in home ownership; 40.4% of homes in postcode 6166 are owned outright, which is far higher than the 19.6% in postcode 6164.

These two areas are remarkably similar when it comes to money and home size, with almost identical typical weekly household incomes and a shared preference for homes with three or more bedrooms. While they share these financial traits, other gaps are shifting. The difference in typical age has narrowed slightly since 2011, while the gap in rental rates has widened, with renting now far higher in postcode 6164.
