6609, WA 6613, WA

Postcode 6609 and postcode 6613 are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Postcode 6609 is more walkable (somewhat walkable) than postcode 6613 (car-dependent), with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries and schools. There are also notable differences in education and income; postcode 6613 has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (32.5% compared to 11.4% in postcode 6609) and a much higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (35.0% versus 10.8%).

These two areas are drifting further apart in several ways, including a widening gap in educational attainment and the share of people with no religion. Despite these shifts, they share some common ground, such as having the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,083 and very similar average household sizes. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
