6322, WA vs 6397, WA

Postcode comparison ≈ 47 km apart · 6322, WA profile · 6397, WA profile

6322, WA 6397, WA

Postcode 6322 and postcode 6397 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are notable differences in their makeup: postcode 6322 has a far higher share of people born overseas (17.9% compared to 4.3%) and far more three-bedroom homes (81.2% versus 69.2%). Postcode 6397 has a much higher proportion of people living alone (38.5% versus 20.0%) and a far higher share of residents who work from home (47.2% compared to 15.2%).

Both areas are effectively alike in the typical age of their residents, which is 49 years. This shared age profile sits alongside other similarities, such as typical weekly rents of $160 and the fact that every home in both areas is a separate house. However, the gaps between them are shifting; since 2011, the difference in the share of people with no religion has widened, while the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed.
