6518, WA 6519, WA

Postcode 6519 and postcode 6518 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6519 is notably younger and more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,366 and 21.2% of its population being children under 15. In contrast, postcode 6518 has a much older population, where the typical resident is 52 and the usual weekly household income is far lower at $837. Postcode 6519 also offers more local convenience, with over half of its homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while postcode 6518 has no homes with that level of access.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical income and the share of children has grown, and the age gap has increased to 10 years. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas share several traits; they have similar rates of people with no religion and a nearly identical share of detached houses, at around 93%. Both areas also sit near the national average for overall advantage.
