6642, WA 6753, WA

Postcode 6753 and postcode 6642 are both regional Western Australian areas, but they differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Postcode 6753 is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,850 and 42.3% of households earning $3,000 or more. In contrast, postcode 6642 is much poorer, where the typical household earns $1,243 and only 7.6% earn over $3,000 a week. This gap extends to education, with 43.4% of people in postcode 6753 completing Year 12, compared to 29.9% in postcode 6642.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved further apart in several key ways. The gaps in weekly family income, Year 12 completion, and the share of one-parent families have all widened. However, some differences are narrowing, such as the gap in typical personal income and the share of people living alone. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain alike in a few respects, with nearly identical rates of people needing help with daily activities and those speaking little or no English.
