Postcode comparison ≈ 36 km apart · 6214, WA profile · 6220, WA profile

6214, WA 6220, WA

Postcode 6220 and postcode 6214 are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6220 is much more diverse, with 25.8% of people born overseas and 18.9% using another language at home, compared to 10.8% and 1.2% in postcode 6214. It is also more walkable, as 49.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 40.4% are near health services, while postcode 6214 has no homes within that distance of either. In contrast, postcode 6214 has a much higher share of people with no religion, at 52.5% compared to 35.2% in postcode 6220.

These differences in diversity and housing have only grown, as the gap in overseas births and home languages has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share a similar economic baseline. They have almost identical typical weekly incomes of around $720 to $760 and very similar unemployment rates of about 3.5%. Both areas are also largely car-dependent, though postcode 6220 is slightly more so than postcode 6214.
