6430, WA 6431, WA

Postcode 6431 and postcode 6430 are two very different parts of Western Australia. Postcode 6431 is a sparsely populated area where 53.3% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and 52% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, postcode 6430 is much larger and more urban, with far more people born overseas (25.9%) and higher typical weekly family incomes of $2,970, compared to just $1,054 in postcode 6431. While postcode 6430 has larger schools, postcode 6431 has many more schools per 1,000 children.

Since 2011, these two areas have seen several gaps narrow. There are now fewer differences in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home, and the gap in rental rates has also shrunk. Both areas share similar proportions of people who need help with daily activities and those who provide unpaid care. While postcode 6430 is far more walkable and connected by public transport, both areas track well above the national figure for full-time employment.
