6037, WA 6043, WA

Postcode 6037 and postcode 6043 are two very different Western Australian areas. Postcode 6037 is a family-focused area where 23.1% of people are children and the typical resident is 39. In contrast, postcode 6043 is sparsely populated and far older; its typical resident is 59, and 41.6% of people are aged 65 and over. Postcode 6037 also has a much higher share of people born overseas (28.3% compared to 15.9%) and more people who have no religion (52.1% compared to 38.6%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. Beyond that, they are alike in that both are mostly car-dependent and have similar shares of people in de facto relationships. However, many gaps have widened since 2011. Residents in postcode 6043 have become much older than those in postcode 6037, and the difference in the number of people living alone has also grown.
