4487, QLD 4488, QLD

Postcode 4487 and postcode 4488 are two rural Queensland areas about 110km apart. Postcode 4487 has a larger population and is more likely to be headed by a single parent (18.5% compared to 5.0% in postcode 4488). It also has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 22.0%, while postcode 4488 is much more likely to have homes owned outright (57.8% versus 30.0%). Postcode 4488 stands out for its high rate of people working from home, at 36.8%, which is far higher than the 11.7% in postcode 4487.

These two areas have drifted apart in several ways since 2011, with the gap in home ownership and the share of people working from home both widening. Despite this, they share a similar age structure for children and seniors, and typical weekly incomes are almost the same, sitting just under the national figure. Both areas are equally car-dependent, with no public transport stops or departures for residents.
