6306, WA 6370, WA

Postcode 6306 and postcode 6370 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6306 has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 50, and a far higher share of people with a long-term health condition at 36.5% compared to 23.4% in postcode 6370. There are also clear differences in infrastructure and demographics; postcode 6306 has a well higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (9.1% versus 2.8%) and is the only one of the two with public transport stops and routes.
