6725, WA 6762, WA

Postcode 6725 and postcode 6762 are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6725 is more populous and has a much younger feel, with 23.9% of its people being children under 15. It is also generally wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,040 per week and 18.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 6762 is sparsely populated and more reliant on the mining industry, where 66.6% of workers are employed. It has a much higher share of people using another language at home at 37.6% and a typical household income that is much lower at $1,083.

The two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with gaps in income, education, and language diversity all widening. However, they share some common ground, such as a typical resident age of 34 and very similar levels of access to money and resources. Both areas also have very few people who speak little or no English, and both are far below the national figure for the number of people who own their homes outright.
