6221, WA 6224, WA

Postcode 6224 and postcode 6221 are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 6224 is much more family-oriented, with 18.4% of people being children under 15, compared to just 7.9% in postcode 6221. This is reflected in the local infrastructure; 56.4% of homes in postcode 6224 are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 6221 has no such walkable access. Postcode 6221 has more high-earners, with 24.7% of households making $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 14.4% in postcode 6224.

These differences have become more pronounced over time, particularly the gap in high-income households and the number of children, both of which have widened since 2011. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $600. They also both have about the same proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force and similar rates of unemployment, sitting between 5.6% and 6.2%.
