6208, WA 6210, WA

Postcode 6210 and postcode 6208 are two nearby areas in Greater Perth with very different layouts. Postcode 6210 is much more urban and connected, with 52.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of various shops and services and far more public transport routes. In contrast, postcode 6208 is more rural, with 91.9% of dwellings being separate houses and far fewer public transport options. Postcode 6210 also has a more diverse population, as 27.2% of residents were born overseas compared to 17.9% in postcode 6208.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The age gap has widened, with residents now noticeably older in postcode 6210, and the difference in overseas birth and university qualifications has also grown. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share the same percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (3.0%) and have almost identical typical personal incomes of around $620 a week.
