6275, WA 6286, WA

Postcode 6275 and postcode 6286 are two Western Australian areas with very different age and social profiles. Postcode 6275 is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and a far higher share of seniors at 34.3%. In contrast, postcode 6286 is younger and more mobile; 46.6% of people moved here in the last five years, compared to 30.0% in postcode 6275. Postcode 6286 also has a more qualified workforce, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (24.8% versus 14.3%) and a higher rate of people working or looking for work.

Daily life in both places shares some similarities, as they have nearly identical unemployment rates and very few people who speak little or no English. However, the gap between them has grown since 2011. This is most clear in the age difference, which has widened from a 1-year gap to 14 years. While postcode 6275 has more homes owned outright (49.8% compared to 32.8%), postcode 6286 has seen its lead in higher education and employment grow over the last decade.
