6401, WA 6564, WA

Postcode 6401 and postcode 6564 are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 6401 is much more walkable, with 62.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 35.9% near groceries, while postcode 6564 has no homes within that distance of either. There are also notable social gaps: postcode 6564 has a far higher share of people with no religion (56.7% compared to 38.7% in postcode 6401) and residents are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 42 in postcode 6401.

Daily life in both places shares many similarities, including almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,300 and similar rates of volunteering. These shared traits sit alongside shifting gaps; for example, the difference in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011, and the gap in the share of adults with a bachelor degree has also flipped. While postcode 6401 is mostly car-dependent, it remains far more walkable than postcode 6564, which is described as car-dependent.
