4007, QLD 4170, QLD

Postcode 4170 and postcode 4007 are neighbouring areas in Greater Brisbane with very different housing styles. Postcode 4170 is more family-oriented, with 18.4% of people being children and a much higher share of separate houses (56.6%) and homes with three or more bedrooms (67.7%). In contrast, postcode 4007 has a more solitary feel; it has a far higher share of people living alone (38.2%) and most residents live in flats or apartments. This is reflected in the ages of the people who live there, as the typical resident in postcode 4007 is 39, while in postcode 4170 they are 34.

Many of the gaps between these two areas have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in housing and household size. Despite this, they remain very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly personal incomes of around $1,201 and the fact that about 40% of adults in both areas hold a bachelor degree or higher. Both areas are also very well connected to transport, with residents in both places facing a very short walk to the nearest stop.
