Postcode comparison ≈ 6.0 km apart · 6169, WA profile · 6171, WA profile

6169, WA 6171, WA

Postcode 6171 and postcode 6169 are neighbouring areas in Greater Perth with very different profiles. Postcode 6171 is a younger area where the typical resident is 31, compared to 41 in postcode 6169. This younger population helps explain why postcode 6171 has more children under 15 (26.9%) and a far higher share of people working or looking for work (70.6% against 58.4%). Financial standing also differs, with a typical weekly household income of $2,096 in postcode 6171, which is well higher than the $1,485 seen in postcode 6169.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, with the gap in typical age widening to 10 years and the difference in outright home ownership growing to 16 percentage points. Despite these shifting trends, they share some common ground; both have similar proportions of volunteers and a very similar share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. They also both sit around the national figure for overall advantage.
