4421, QLD 4422, QLD

Postcode 4421 and postcode 4422 are both regional Queensland areas, but they differ sharply in their economic and social profiles. Postcode 4422 is more affluent, with far more households earning $3,000 or more a week (14.7% compared to 4.6% in postcode 4421) and a much higher proportion of full-time employment at 75.8%. In contrast, postcode 4421 has a higher unemployment rate of 17.3% and a larger share of one-parent families at 24.4%. Health and housing also differ, as postcode 4421 has far more people with long-term health conditions (40.6% versus 26.6%) and a much lower share of homes with three or more bedrooms.

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across several measures, including employment and home ownership. However, they do share some common ground; for instance, both have a very similar share of children under 15 and almost no one who speaks little or no English. Both areas also lack public transport, with no stops or departures per 1,000 people. While postcode 4422 has seen more people working from home, both remain far removed from the national figures for urban amenity.
