4170, QLD 4174, QLD

Postcode 4170 and postcode 4174 are neighbouring areas in Greater Brisbane with very different characters. Postcode 4170 is a high-income, very walkable hub where 40.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 23.6% earn $2,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 4174 is more car-dependent, with a smaller share of university degrees (22.1%) and lower high-earners (12.6%). The housing styles differ sharply; separate houses are far more common in postcode 4174 (91.5%) than in postcode 4170 (56.6%), while postcode 4170 has a far higher rental rate at 40.2%.
