6175, WA 6181, WA

Postcode 6175 and postcode 6181 are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Postcode 6175 is a somewhat walkable place where many residents are within a 15-minute walk of a school, park or groceries. In contrast, postcode 6181 is car-dependent, with no residents within walking distance of public transport. There are also clear age and wealth gaps; residents are far older in postcode 6181, where the typical age is 45 compared to 35 in postcode 6175, and households earning $3,000 or more a week are far more common in postcode 6181 (38.0% versus 27.8%).

Both areas sit close to the national average for overall advantage. They also share very similar housing styles, with almost every home being a separate detached house. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in typical age has doubled over the last decade, and the gap in home ownership has widened, with homes owned outright being far more common in postcode 6181.
