6180, WA 6181, WA

Postcode 6180 is a more active, diverse hub where the typical resident is 33 and 11.2% use a language other than English at home. It is somewhat walkable, with 77.7% of homes within a short walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 6181 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical resident of 45. Financial profiles also differ sharply, as 38% of households in postcode 6181 earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 20.1% in postcode 6180.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for overall advantage, and they share a similar proportion of residents aged 65 and over. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps have grown since 2011.
