6323, WA 6338, WA

Postcode 6323 and postcode 6338 are two rural areas in Western Australia with small populations. Postcode 6323 has a much older typical resident at 54 years, compared to 46 years in postcode 6338. It also has a far higher share of people born overseas (22.4% versus 12.1%) and more residents living with a long-term health condition (37.2% compared to 26.7%). In contrast, postcode 6338 is far more likely to have residents who completed Year 12 (50.9% versus 37.4%) and has a much larger share of the population working or looking for work (63.8% compared to 46.9%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in that homes are roughly the same size, with about 2.2 to 2.3 people per household. They also share very low rates of public transport use and an almost identical proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While they share these traits, some gaps are shifting; the age difference between the two areas has widened since 2011, while the gap in volunteering has narrowed.
