6722, WA 6760, WA

Postcode 6722 and postcode 6760 are two different Western Australian areas with distinct social profiles. Postcode 6722 is much more populous and wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,595 and a high share of children under 15 at 25.2%. In contrast, postcode 6760 is sparsely populated and has much lower typical household incomes of $1,035. There are also stark differences in housing and families; postcode 6760 has a far higher share of people living alone (42.1%) and one-parent families (28.7%), while postcode 6722 has a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (77.1%).

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as the typical personal income and the small percentage of people who speak little or no English. However, they are moving apart in other ways. The gap in typical family income has widened since 2011, and the difference in home ownership has also grown. While both areas have very few people who owned their homes outright compared to the national figure, this is still far higher in postcode 6760.
