6351, WA 6361, WA

There are also notable differences in household and work life: postcode 6361 has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (20.0% versus 8.8%) and a higher typical weekly personal income of $883 compared to $669 in postcode 6351. In contrast, postcode 6351 has a far higher share of children under 15 (31.6% versus 17.6%) and a much higher proportion of people who finished Year 12 (70.7% versus 51.2%).

The gap in the share of children under 15 has widened since 2016, while the two areas share many other traits. Both are almost entirely made up of detached houses and have the same number of people per home. They are also alike in that no one uses public transport to get to work and 100% of homes have at least one motor vehicle. This is consistent with both being remote areas where residents rely entirely on cars.
