4153, QLD 4172, QLD

Postcode 4172 and postcode 4153 are neighbouring areas with very different housing and lifestyles. Postcode 4172 is more transient and urban, with 50.7% of people moving in during the last five years and a much higher rental rate of 36.6%. It is also more accessible, as 80.5% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, postcode 4153 is dominated by home ownership, with 35.3% of homes owned outright, and is overwhelmingly made up of separate houses (90.4%). Its residents are noticeably older, with a typical age of 39 compared to 35 in postcode 4172.

Since 2011, many of these gaps have widened as the two areas have drifted apart. This is seen in the growing difference in home ownership and the rising divide in religious affiliation, with those reporting no religion now far higher in postcode 4172. Despite these trends, they share a similar professional profile: both have exactly 32.8% of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,400.
