6426, WA 6429, WA

Postcode 6429 and postcode 6426 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6429 is somewhat walkable and has far more people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds (19.1% compared to 3.0% in postcode 6426). It also has more children, with 15.6% of the population under 15, and more one-parent families. In contrast, postcode 6426 is mostly car-dependent and has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (60.4% against 47.8% in postcode 6429) and a typical weekly personal income that is well higher at $1,048.

These two areas are drifting further apart as the gap in typical weekly income has widened since 2011. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as a typical resident age of 47 years and nearly identical rates of home ownership and renting. Both areas also have similar proportions of people who do not identify with a religion and very similar levels of people needing help with daily activities.
