6175, WA 6176, WA

Postcode 6175 and postcode 6176 are neighbouring areas with very different levels of accessibility. Postcode 6175 is somewhat walkable and has far better transport links, with 11 public transport stops compared to just one in postcode 6176, which is mostly car-dependent. This is reflected in the walk to the nearest stop, which takes just 2 minutes in postcode 6175 but 84 minutes in postcode 6176. Postcode 6175 also has more high-earners, with 27.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 20.5% in postcode 6176.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. For example, the gap in people moving into the area has shifted, and the lead in home ownership has flipped. Despite these changes, they remain alike in many ways, with almost identical typical weekly rents of $370 and very similar proportions of people who served in the Defence Force. Both areas are also younger than the national figure, although residents in postcode 6176 are the youngest of the two with a typical age of 30.
