6343, WA 6346, WA

Postcode 6346 and postcode 6343 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, though they offer very different living environments. Postcode 6346 is somewhat walkable, with 57% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 56% near health services. In contrast, postcode 6343 is car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services or groceries. Postcode 6346 also sees more movement, with 38.5% of residents having moved in the last five years, compared to just 14.9% in postcode 6343.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in different directions across several measures. While the gap in people working from home has narrowed, the difference in education has grown, with a higher share of adults in postcode 6343 now holding a bachelor degree. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some basics; they have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $1,800, and similar household sizes of about two to three people.
