6221, WA 6225, WA

Postcode 6225 and postcode 6221 are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different social profiles. Postcode 6225 is more populated and has a higher share of children (17.9%) and people living alone (31.0%). In contrast, postcode 6221 is sparsely populated and has a more advantaged profile, with a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (24.7% compared to 13.2% in postcode 6225) and a higher rate of residents who completed Year 12 (46.0% versus 30.5%).
