6505, WA 6567, WA

Postcode 6567 and postcode 6505 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ most in their demographics and workforce. Residents in postcode 6567 are far older, with a typical age of 54 compared to 40 in postcode 6505. Postcode 6567 also has a much higher share of people born overseas at 25.4%, while postcode 6505 has far more children under 15 (23.9% versus 12.8%). When it comes to work, postcode 6505 has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work at 74.5%, compared to 47.8% in postcode 6567.

Both areas are very similar in their housing and lack of local services. Every home in both postcodes is a separate house, and neither has any residents within a 15-minute walk of public transport, schools, or groceries. This shared reliance on cars is consistent across both places, though some gaps have shifted since 2011. For example, the gap in the number of people caring for children unpaid has widened, and the difference in typical age has grown by 13 years over the last decade.
