6415, WA 6420, WA

Postcode 6415 and postcode 6420 are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Postcode 6415 is a more populated centre where renting is far more common (30.8%) and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, postcode 6420 is sparsely populated and almost entirely car-dependent, with a huge 93.1% of homes owned outright. While postcode 6415 has a higher share of people in de facto relationships (13.9%), postcode 6420 has a much higher proportion of adults working or looking for work (74.6%).

Both areas share a similar typical resident age of 40 and have the same number of people per home. This shared baseline exists alongside growing gaps in housing and wealth; the difference in outright home ownership has widened since 2016, and the gap in access to money and resources is now far higher in postcode 6420. Since 2011, these two areas have diverged further in their housing markets and employment trends.
