Postcode comparison ≈ 17 km apart · 6321, WA profile · 6322, WA profile

6321, WA 6322, WA

Postcode 6321 and postcode 6322 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6321 is more likely to have people living alone (30.4%) and a higher share of renters (30.4%). It also has more amenities within walking distance, with 60.9% of homes within a 15 minute walk of a school. In contrast, postcode 6322 is far more likely to have homes owned outright (57.6%) and a higher proportion of older residents, with a typical age of 49.

These two neighbours have tracked in opposite directions since 2011 in several areas. The gap in renting and home ownership has widened, and the share of people born overseas is now well higher in postcode 6322. However, they remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,170, and the fact that neither area has homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services.
