6532, WA 6630, WA

Postcode 6532 and postcode 6630 are two regional Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6532 is more prosperous, with a typical weekly household income of $2,009 compared to $1,194 in postcode 6630. It also has a higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (43.2% versus 29.8%) and more large homes, with 85.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 6630 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.9%, compared to 5.3% in postcode 6532, and a much higher share of one-parent families at 28.1%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in typical household incomes and weekly rents has widened, and more people in postcode 6532 now live alone compared to a decade ago. Despite these shifts, they share some common ground: both have similar proportions of people in de facto relationships and adults with bachelor degrees. They are also both very reliant on cars, with walkability scores describing them as car-dependent or mostly car-dependent.
