4480, QLD vs 4481, QLD

Postcode comparison ≈ 211 km apart · 4480, QLD profile · 4481, QLD profile

4480, QLD 4481, QLD

Postcode 4480 and postcode 4481 are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. Postcode 4480 is much younger, with 21.4% of people being children under 15, which helps explain why it has far more school enrolments (89 compared to 7) and a higher share of couples with children. Postcode 4481 is more likely to have one-parent families (21.0% versus 9.0%) and more homes owned outright (45.9% versus 34.5%). Typical weekly family income is also well higher in postcode 4481, at $2,562 compared to $2,021 in postcode 4480.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people per home, with 2.3 people in the typical household. This commonality exists alongside gaps that are moving in opposite directions; for example, the difference in the number of children has widened since 2011, while the gap in home-loan payments has also grown. They share a similar lack of public transport and almost identical rates of people using another language at home.
