6084, WA 6502, WA

Postcode 6502 and postcode 6084 are two Western Australian areas that differ sharply in their demographics and layout. Residents in postcode 6502 are far older, with a typical age of 49 and 25.6% aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 40 and 13.5% of seniors in postcode 6084. This older population in postcode 6502 is consistent with a higher rate of outright home ownership at 44.7%, while postcode 6084 is more workforce-focused, with 66.4% of adults working or looking for work compared to 51.4% in postcode 6502. Postcode 6084 also has a much higher typical household income of $2,076 per week, well above the $1,379 seen in postcode 6502.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart across several key measures. The gap in typical age has grown to 9 years, and the difference in home ownership and the number of people working has also widened. Despite these trends, they remain very similar in some ways, such as having nearly identical rates of bachelor degrees (around 11%) and similar levels of unemployment. Both areas also sit close to the national average for overall advantage.
