6762, WA 6765, WA

Postcode 6765 and postcode 6762 are both remote Western Australian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Postcode 6765 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 70.9%, and far more children under 15 (23.5% compared to 8.5% in postcode 6762). There is a stark contrast in typical weekly personal income, which is $386 in postcode 6765 but far higher at $1,833 in postcode 6762. This gap is partly explained by the industries present; mining is the top employer in postcode 6762, while education and health are the main sectors in postcode 6765.

Since 2011, several gaps between the two areas have narrowed, including the difference in children's shares, the proportion of people born overseas, and the number of Indigenous residents. They share a similar level of overall disadvantage and have almost identical rates of one-parent families (26.2%) and renters (around 84%). Both areas also have very low levels of access to money and resources, sitting well below the national figure.
