6470, WA 6476, WA

Postcode 6476 and postcode 6470 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in age and wealth: residents are far older in postcode 6476, where the typical person is 55, while the typical resident in postcode 6470 is just 21. This is reflected in the age gaps, with children under 15 making up 45% of postcode 6470 compared to just 9.1% in postcode 6476. There is also a significant income divide, as typical weekly household income is far higher in postcode 6470 at $2,749, compared to $1,208 in postcode 6476.

Both areas are car-dependent and lack public transport, with no train or bus stops available.

Since 2016, the gap in typical age has widened from just one year to 34 years, while the difference in weekly household income has grown from $125 to $1,541.
