6210, WA 6211, WA

Postcode 6210 and postcode 6211 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different living patterns. Postcode 6210 is more urban, with far more people renting (26.9% compared to 14.4%) and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (58.1% versus 28.4%). It also has far more public transport routes, with 20 compared to just 3 in postcode 6211. In contrast, postcode 6211 is more residential and spacious; detached houses are far more common there (92.9% versus 81.3%) and residents have far more access to money and resources.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while closing the gap in others. The difference in rental rates has widened, but the gap in the share of people who provide unpaid childcare has narrowed. Despite these trends, they share many basics: they have almost identical shares of people born overseas (about 27%) and very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $630. Both areas also sit near the national figure for people who have served in the Defence Force.
