6710, WA 6716, WA

Postcode 6716 and postcode 6710 are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ most in how people live and work: postcode 6716 has a far higher share of renters at 78.8% and a much higher proportion of people earning $2,000 or more a week (41.6%). In contrast, postcode 6710 has far more separate houses (81.2% compared to 54.5%) and a far higher share of people in de facto relationships at 27.4%.
