6507, WA 6511, WA

Postcode 6507 and postcode 6511 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in wealth and age. Postcode 6507 is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,903 compared to $1,044 in postcode 6511. Residents in postcode 6507 are generally younger and more likely to work from home (26.6% compared to 4.6% in postcode 6511), while postcode 6511 is far older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 32.7% of people aged 65 or over.

These two areas have drifted further apart since 2011, as the gaps in typical age, household income, and the number of seniors have all widened. Despite this, they share some common traits, such as having almost identical rates of volunteers and a similar number of public transport routes. While postcode 6507 is car-dependent, postcode 6511 is somewhat walkable, with many more homes within reach of parks, schools, and health services.
