6383, WA 6386, WA

Postcode 6383 and postcode 6386 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Residents are far older in postcode 6383, where the typical age is 55 compared to 42 in postcode 6386. This older population is reflected in the fact that people aged 65 and over are far more common in postcode 6383, making up 32.2% of the area. There is also a large difference in wealth; typical weekly personal income is far higher in postcode 6386 at $1,140, while it is $598 in postcode 6383.
