6348, WA 6448, WA

Postcode 6348 and postcode 6448 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, but they differ in their residents and accessibility. Postcode 6348 is more mobile and diverse, with 20.7% born overseas and 50.1% of people moving in the last five years. It is also more walkable, as a half of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 47.9% are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, postcode 6448 is more car-dependent, and while it has more schools per child, it is largely devoid of walkable health services or shops.

The gap in the number of people living alone has widened since 2011, and it is now far higher in postcode 6348 at 36.9%. Despite this, the two areas share several commonalities, including a typical weekly household income of $1,542 and very similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Both areas also sit just below the national figure for overall advantage.
