6275, WA 6284, WA

Postcode 6284 is a younger, wealthier place where 25.2% of residents are children and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $1,910. In contrast, postcode 6275 is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 34.3% of people aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the home ownership and health data, as postcode 6275 has far more people living alone and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 49.8%.

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as the share of people in de facto relationships and the fact that they each have just one school within 3 km.
