6721, WA 6725, WA

Postcode 6725 and postcode 6721 are two distinct Western Australian areas located nearly 500km apart. Postcode 6725 has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 31.4%, and a far higher share of one-parent families (19.6% compared to 6.4%). In contrast, postcode 6721 is significantly wealthier; the typical weekly household income is $3,369, which is far higher than the $2,040 seen in postcode 6725. Postcode 6721 also has far more public transport options, with 84% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, while postcode 6725 has none.

Both areas share a very similar typical resident age of 34 and have walkability scores that are both mostly car-dependent. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in income and wealth has generally widened since 2011. This is seen in the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week, which is now 29 percentage points higher in postcode 6721 than in postcode 6725.
