6442, WA 6443, WA

Postcode 6442 and postcode 6443 are both regional Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6442 is younger and more affluent, with a typical resident aged 35 and typical weekly household incomes of $2,129. In contrast, postcode 6443 is far older, with a typical age of 50 and typical weekly household incomes of $837. This age gap is reflected in the homes; postcode 6443 has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (21.3% compared to 9.3% in postcode 6442) and more people living alone (50.6% versus 30.2%).
