6558, WA 6564, WA

Postcode 6558 and postcode 6564 are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6558 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 22.8%, while postcode 6564 is far older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 37 in postcode 6558. There is also a significant gap in housing costs, with typical weekly rent far higher in postcode 6558 at $360, compared to $220 in postcode 6564.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart as the gaps for religion, age, and rent have all widened. Despite these shifts, they share a few common traits: both are almost entirely made up of separate houses and have a similar share of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Both areas also have very few recent arrivals from overseas and very few people who speak little or no English.
