6322, WA 6327, WA

Postcode 6327 and postcode 6322 are both sparsely populated areas of Western Australia. Postcode 6327 has a younger feel, with 23.1% of people being children under 15, while postcode 6322 is older, with seniors aged 65 and over making up 27.9% of its population. There are also notable differences in how people live and work: postcode 6327 has a far higher share of people working from home (28.4% compared to 15.2%) and a typical monthly home-loan payment that is $667 higher than in postcode 6322.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in the number of seniors and those doing unpaid housework has widened, and the difference in children under 15 has grown. However, they still share a very similar way of life in many respects. Both areas have the same number of public transport routes, no recent overseas arrivals, and every single home is a separate house.
