6468, WA 6472, WA

Postcode 6468 and postcode 6472 are both sparsely populated areas of Western Australia. Postcode 6468 is more diverse, with 21.1% of people born overseas and 8.2% using another language at home, compared to just 6.6% and 2.0% in postcode 6472. There is also a large gap in health and care; postcode 6472 has far higher rates of people with long-term health conditions (29.8% vs 17.0%) and those doing unpaid housework (33.9% vs 16.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some key ways, such as the growing gap in overseas births and volunteer rates. However, they remain very similar in other respects, such as their typical weekly incomes, which are both around $1,600. In both places, every home is a separate house, and no one uses public transport to get to work.
