4417, QLD 4487, QLD

Postcode 4487 has a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 24.3% and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 22.0%. It is also more walkable, with 64.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park compared to 46.0% in postcode 4417. In contrast, postcode 4417 has more children under 15 (25.3% versus 20.7%) and more people aged 65 and over (19.6% versus 15.7%).
