6409, WA 6485, WA

Postcode 6485 and postcode 6409 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6485 is far older, with a typical resident aged 54 compared to 46 in postcode 6409, and a far higher share of seniors (33.8% versus 16.6%). This older population is consistent with a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions in postcode 6485 (39.6% compared to 29.3%). In contrast, postcode 6409 has more children under 15 (19.9% versus 12.1%) and a higher typical weekly income of $1,125, compared to $866 in postcode 6485.

Both areas share very similar housing costs, with typical weekly rents and monthly mortgage payments sitting at almost the same levels.
