6514, WA 6517, WA

In contrast, postcode 6517 is younger, with a typical resident aged 43. Postcode 6517 also has a stronger job market, where full-time employment is far higher at 68.8% compared to 53.2% in postcode 6514. This is reflected in weekly family incomes, which are far higher in postcode 6517 at $1,875, while postcode 6514 earns $1,156.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted in several ways. The age gap has widened as postcode 6514 has become much older than postcode 6517. However, the gap in typical monthly home-loan payments has narrowed, and the difference in people with no religion has also shrunk. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having the same number of people per home and the same lack of public transport use for commuting.
