6431, WA 6432, WA

Postcode 6431 is a sparsely populated area where 53.3% of residents are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and 52.0% use a language other than English at home. It is a place of significant disadvantage, with a typical weekly family income of $1,054 and 58.0% of homes having no motor vehicle. In contrast, postcode 6432 is more populous and wealthier, with a typical family income of $2,375, higher rates of home ownership, and a walkability score that is somewhat walkable.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of adults who provide unpaid care. While they share similar levels of higher education and people living alone, other gaps are shifting. The difference in the share of people using another language at home has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in rental rates has also shrunk, though postcode 6431 remains far higher in both.
