6754, WA 6758, WA

Postcode 6754 and postcode 6758 are two different Western Australian areas with contrasting demographics and wealth. Postcode 6754 is much more family-oriented, with 23.0% of people under 15 compared to just 2.8% in postcode 6758. It is also significantly wealthier; the typical household income there is $3,215 per week, while the typical household in postcode 6758 earns $1,321. Housing differs sharply too, as 87.2% of homes in postcode 6754 are rented and 89.9% have three or more bedrooms, whereas postcode 6758 has a higher share of homes owned outright and far more people without a motor vehicle.

Everyday life in both places shares some common ground, as they have an identical share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and nearly the same percentage of people born overseas. Both areas are also similarly sparse in public transport, with no stops or departures for their residents. However, the gap in household income and the number of renters has widened since 2011, showing that these two areas are drifting further apart financially.
