6312, WA 6350, WA

Postcode 6312 and postcode 6350 are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6312 is more populated and diverse, with 16.1% of people arriving from overseas recently and 9.2% using a language other than English at home, compared to no recent overseas arrivals or other languages in postcode 6350. It also has a higher share of renters at 30.1% and more one-parent families at 17.8%. In contrast, postcode 6350 is sparsely populated and more car-dependent, though it has far more people working from home (19.5% compared to 4.9%) and a higher share of residents aged 65 and over at 26.6%.

Both areas share a similar level of overall advantage and have nearly the same typical weekly personal income, around $700 to $735. They are also alike in their proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and the share of people who have completed Year 12. While these areas have some things in common, the gaps in their housing and demographics are shifting; the difference in the share of renters has widened since 2011, while the age gap between the two has narrowed.
