6260, WA 6288, WA

Postcode 6260 and postcode 6288 are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6260 is far more connected, with 48.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and a walkability score of 3.7 (mostly car-dependent), while postcode 6288 is car-dependent with a score of 0.4 and only 0.2% of homes near groceries. Other major differences include a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals in postcode 6260 (23.9% compared to 3.5% in postcode 6288) and a far higher share of people with no religion in postcode 6288 (58.4% versus 42.8%).

These two places are very similar in their general level of advantage and typical incomes, with both sitting around the national figure for overall advantage. While they share these core economic traits, some social gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened since 2011, and the gap in recent overseas arrivals has also grown. In contrast, the difference in the share of people in de facto relationships has narrowed over the same period.
