6620, WA 6623, WA

Postcode 6623 and postcode 6620 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are stark differences in their typical incomes and age profiles; for example, typical weekly personal income is far higher in postcode 6620 at $1,392 compared to $687 in postcode 6623. Postcode 6623 is much older and more family-oriented, with 23.7% of people aged 65 and over and 23.7% being children under 15, while postcode 6620 has only 11.0% of seniors and 13.5% children. Postcode 6623 is also more walkable, with a score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable), whereas postcode 6620 is 3.1 (mostly car-dependent).

The gap in typical personal income has widened since 2011, growing from $355 to $705.
