6432, WA 6438, WA

Postcode 6432 and postcode 6438 are two very different Western Australian areas. Postcode 6432 is more developed and populated, with a typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,309 and a typical weekly rent of $300. In contrast, postcode 6438 is much more sparsely populated and car-dependent, where the usual monthly mortgage is far lower at $714 and typical rent is just $163. Homes in postcode 6432 are also more likely to be larger and detached, with 79.4% having three or more bedrooms compared to 57.8% in postcode 6438.

Both areas share very similar levels of overall advantage, typical weekly incomes of around $1,000, and a similar share of adults with a bachelor degree. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps are changing. The difference in the share of separate houses and the number of adults working or looking for work has widened since 2011. However, the gap in typical rent and mortgage payments has narrowed over the same period.
