4500, QLD 4521, QLD

Postcode 4521 and postcode 4500 are two nearby Queensland areas with very different layouts. Postcode 4521 is a car-dependent area where 98.5% of homes are separate houses and the typical resident is 44. Postcode 4500 is more urban and somewhat walkable, with a younger typical resident of 36 and a much higher share of renters at 28.5%. This contrast extends to transport and services; postcode 4500 has far more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.

The gap in renting has widened since 2011, with postcode 4500 now far more likely to be a rental market than postcode 4521. Despite this, the two areas share some similarities, including typical weekly personal incomes and almost identical home sizes, with both averaging 2.8 people per house. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
