6505, WA 6571, WA

Postcode 6505 and postcode 6571 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6505 is much younger, with 23.9% of residents under 15, and has far more people caring for children unpaid (31.1%). In contrast, postcode 6571 has far higher typical personal incomes ($1,359 compared to $745) and a much higher share of households renting (48.1% against 7.0%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in several ways. The gap in typical family income has widened to $1,187, and the difference in university qualifications has grown, with postcode 6571 now far higher. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain alike in some basics: both are made up entirely of detached houses, and neither has any public transport stops or residents who speak little or no English.
