6722, WA 6758, WA

Postcode 6722 and postcode 6758 are two very different Western Australian areas. Postcode 6722 is a much younger and wealthier place, where 25.2% of people are children under 15 and the typical family earns $3,029 a week. In contrast, postcode 6758 is far more likely to have one-parent families (44.5%) and has a much lower typical family income of $780. Education levels also differ, with 43.3% of people in postcode 6722 completing Year 12 compared to 33.1% in postcode 6758.

Since 2011, the two areas have moved in opposite directions across several measures. The gap in the number of children has widened, with postcode 6722 becoming far more child-heavy. However, the gap in typical household incomes has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain alike in other ways, such as the share of people using another language at home and the very low proportion of residents aged 65 and over.
