6176, WA 6181, WA

Postcode 6176 and postcode 6181 are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different populations. Postcode 6176 is a young, mobile area where the typical resident is 30 and 26.8% of people are children. In contrast, postcode 6181 is far older, with a typical age of 45 and a much higher share of homes owned outright (34.0% compared to 17.6%). This gap in wealth is further seen in income, as 38.0% of households in postcode 6181 earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 20.5% in postcode 6176.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $900. They also both have an equal level of access to money and resources. However, their patterns of movement and living are drifting apart; the gap in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened since 2011, with postcode 6176 now far more likely to have new arrivals. While both are mostly car-dependent, postcode 6176 is slightly more walkable, with more residents living within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries, and health services.
