6221, WA 6390, WA

Postcode 6390 and postcode 6221 are two rural Western Australian areas with very different family and social profiles. Postcode 6390 has a much younger feel, with 22.3% of people being children under 15, compared to just 7.9% in postcode 6221. This is consistent with a higher share of unpaid childcare in postcode 6390 (27.6% versus 16.7% in postcode 6221) and more people living in de facto relationships. Postcode 6390 is also more walkable, with 44.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while postcode 6221 is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of those amenities.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with the lead flipping in the share of children and unpaid carers. Other differences have widened, such as the gap in people with no religion, which is now far higher in postcode 6390. Despite this, they share a typical resident age of 42 and have very similar shares of volunteers and full-time workers. Both areas also have an almost identical proportion of people using another language at home, at around 4.6%.
