4214, QLD 4218, QLD

Postcode 4214 and postcode 4218 are two large, nearby areas in Queensland with very different housing styles. Postcode 4214 is dominated by larger family homes, with 86.7% having three or more bedrooms and 79.7% being separate houses. In contrast, postcode 4218 is much more compact, where only 52.9% of homes have three or more bedrooms and just 41.5% are separate houses. This difference in layout affects daily life; postcode 4218 is very walkable and most residents can easily walk to health services, while postcode 4214 is only somewhat walkable and has far fewer people within walking distance of a doctor.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar feel in other ways. The typical weekly household income is almost identical, and both areas have similar proportions of volunteers and people who served in the Defence Force. While postcode 4218 has more people with degrees and higher earners, both areas are now more similar in terms of the number of children under 15. Over time, the gap in housing types has widened, as postcode 4214 has become even more distinct for its larger homes.
