Postcode comparison ≈ 232 km apart · 6721, WA profile · 6758, WA profile

6721, WA 6758, WA

Postcode 6721 and postcode 6758 are two distinct Western Australian areas located about 232 km apart. Postcode 6721 is much more affluent, with a typical family income of $3,905 per week compared to $780 in postcode 6758. It is also a much younger place; children under 15 make up 23.6% of the population, while they account for only 2.8% in postcode 6758. This younger age profile in postcode 6721 is consistent with its higher share of people caring for children unpaid (30.2%) and larger average school sizes of 221 students.

Everyday life in both areas is shaped by a heavy reliance on the mining industry and very similar rates of unemployment. They also share a small proportion of people who speak little or no English. However, the gap in wealth and education has widened since 2011. For example, the difference in the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher has grown to 12 percentage points, and the typical weekly household income is now $2,048 higher in postcode 6721.
