6309, WA 6313, WA

Postcode 6309 and postcode 6313 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. The two differ most in their age and family structures; postcode 6309 is much older, with 26.7% of people aged 65 and over, while postcode 6313 has far more children under 15 (20.6% compared to 15.1%). This difference is reflected in the homes, as 86.6% of houses in postcode 6313 have three or more bedrooms, compared to 72.0% in postcode 6309. Postcode 6313 also has far higher levels of overall advantage and access to money and resources.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened in several key ways, particularly regarding the number of seniors and people caring for children unpaid. Despite these shifting trends, they remain very similar in other respects. Both areas are entirely made up of separate houses, and neither has any residents who commute by public transport. They also share almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and a similar rate of full-time employment.
