6530, WA 6537, WA

Postcode 6530 and postcode 6537 are two very different Western Australian areas. Postcode 6530 is a larger population centre where 18.5% of families are one-parent homes and 82.9% of houses have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6537 is sparsely populated with a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 29.8%. While postcode 6530 has many more public transport stops and larger schools, postcode 6537 has a higher number of schools for every 1,000 children.

The gap in the number of one-parent families has widened since 2011, but other differences are shrinking. For example, the age gap between the two areas has narrowed from 12 years to just 3 years. Despite these trends, both places are very similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $765 to $780. They also share a similar proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, at about 10% each, and both are considered somewhat walkable.
