6074, WA 6562, WA

Postcode 6562 and postcode 6074 are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different levels of accessibility and education. Postcode 6074 is much more walkable and connected, with 56.3% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport, compared to just 7.9% in postcode 6562. There is also a significant gap in schooling; 50.7% of people in postcode 6074 finished Year 12, while only 36.9% did so in postcode 6562. This is consistent with a higher share of adults holding bachelor degrees in postcode 6074 and a typical weekly rent that is $140 higher than in postcode 6562.

Daily life in both places shares several similarities, such as having almost the same proportion of people aged 65 and over and very similar typical weekly personal incomes. Both areas also have a much higher share of people with no religion than the national figure. Since 2011, some gaps have grown, with postcode 6074 seeing a larger increase in volunteers and a widening lead in the share of residents born overseas.
