6149, WA 6166, WA

Postcode 6149 and postcode 6166 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different levels of accessibility and education. Postcode 6149 is very walkable, with 95.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a '15-minute-city' area and a drive time to the city of just 14 minutes. In contrast, postcode 6166 is somewhat walkable, with only 36.3% of homes in such a walkshed and a longer 35-minute commute. Education and diversity also differ sharply; postcode 6149 has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (37.6% compared to 19.1%) and a larger proportion of people born overseas (40.3% versus 28.9%).

The gap in overseas births has widened since 2011, but the two areas share many other common traits. They have almost identical typical household incomes, around $2,100 a week, and similar shares of children under 15. Both areas also have similar rates of people providing unpaid care and those living with a mental health condition. While postcode 6149 is much more connected to public transport and health services, both areas sit above the national figure for typical weekly household income.
