6701, WA 6707, WA

Postcode 6701 and postcode 6707 are two Western Australian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Postcode 6701 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 16.3%, while postcode 6707 is far more likely to have residents with no religion (59.4%). There is also a notable gap in education and finance; 51.4% of people in postcode 6707 finished Year 12 compared to 34.9% in postcode 6701, and typical monthly home-loan payments are far higher in postcode 6707 at $2,103.

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have an identical share of people born overseas (18.5%) and a similar proportion of children under 15. However, these areas are drifting apart in some ways. The gap in Year 12 completion and the difference in typical mortgage payments have both widened since 2011. In contrast, the gap in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed over the same period.
