Postcode comparison ≈ 195 km apart · 6356, WA profile · 6448, WA profile

6356, WA 6448, WA

Postcode 6448 and postcode 6356 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are stark differences in their profiles: postcode 6356 is far more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 (56.3% compared to 33.6% in postcode 6448) and those who work from home (31.5% versus 14.6%). In contrast, postcode 6448 has a well higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (4.7% compared to 0.0% in postcode 6356) and more people doing regular unpaid housework (22.4% versus 6.2%).

Both areas are almost identical in their housing and transport basics, with nearly everyone living in a separate house and no one commuting by public transport. They also share similar rates of university degrees and a very low share of people who speak a language other than English at home. While the gap in the number of volunteers has narrowed since 2016, the difference in school completion and work-from-home rates has widened over the same period.
