6753, WA 6760, WA

Postcode 6753 and postcode 6760 are two remote Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6753 has a larger population and is generally wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,850 per week compared to $1,035 in postcode 6760. It is also a much younger area, where 20.1% of people are children under 15, whereas postcode 6760 has only 7.7%. In contrast, postcode 6760 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 27.4%, compared to 13.6% in postcode 6753.

Both areas are effectively identical in several ways, including the small number of people who speak little or no English and the share of people needing help with daily activities. They also both lack any public transport stops. Over time, some of the gaps between them have shifted; for example, the difference in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed since 2011, and the gap in school completion rates has also shrunk.
