6432, WA 6437, WA

Postcode 6432 and postcode 6437 are two Western Australian areas with very different scales and layouts. Postcode 6432 is more developed, with a somewhat walkable environment where 89.5% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 6437 is mostly car-dependent, and its typical weekly income is far higher at $1,817, compared to $1,014 in postcode 6432. While postcode 6437 has a much higher share of high earners—with 37.2% of households making $3,000 or more a week—postcode 6432 has a higher proportion of people living alone at 30.1%.

Both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage. They are also alike in the share of children under 15, which is around 21% for both. Since 2011, the gaps between them have shifted; the difference in typical weekly income has narrowed, but the gap in home ownership has widened as postcode 6432 is far higher in homes owned outright.
