6707, WA 6799, OT

Postcode 6799 and postcode 6707 are two very different areas located over 2,000km apart. Postcode 6799 is a small, densely populated area where 64.2% of people use a language other than English at home, and 21.6% speak little or no English. In contrast, postcode 6707 is a vast region where most people speak English and 59.4% have no religion, compared to just 14.5% in postcode 6799. Financial and housing patterns also differ sharply; 67.2% of homes in postcode 6799 are rented, while postcode 6707 has a far higher share of people who own their homes outright (22.6%).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people providing unpaid care, at 6.0% and 6.7% respectively. Outside of this similarity, the two places have drifted further apart in some ways. The gap in adults working or looking for work has widened since 2011, and the difference in weekly household earnings has also grown. However, the gaps in the share of people using another language at home and those who have recently arrived from overseas have narrowed over time.
