6034, WA 6043, WA

Postcode 6043 is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 59 and a high share of seniors at 41.6%. In contrast, postcode 6034 is much younger, with a typical age of 29 and a large population of children under 15 (28.3%). These two areas differ sharply in wealth and home ownership; typical weekly incomes are far higher in postcode 6034 ($2,024 compared to $1,136), and postcode 6043 has a much higher share of homes owned outright at 48.7%.

Everyday life in both places is largely car-dependent, as neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health services. While they share a similar percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in typical ages and the share of seniors has widened since 2016, while the gap in overseas births has narrowed.
