4211, QLD 4217, QLD

Postcode 4211 and postcode 4217 are two nearby Queensland areas with very different living patterns. Postcode 4211 is a family-oriented area where homes are typically larger, with 83.7% having three or more bedrooms and 69.8% being separate houses. It also has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (29.1%). In contrast, postcode 4217 is a very walkable, high-density area where 61.7% of people live in flats or apartments and 41.2% rent their homes. This area is also more culturally diverse, with 22.5% of residents using a language other than English at home and 25% of the population arriving recently from overseas.

Both areas are similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $770 to $795. While they share this financial baseline, the way they have grown differs; the gap in overseas arrivals has widened since 2011, and postcode 4217 has become increasingly more distinct in its high proportion of renters and apartment dwellers.
