4502, QLD 4509, QLD

Postcode 4509 and postcode 4502 are neighbouring areas in Greater Brisbane with very different profiles. Postcode 4509 is a much younger, more transient area where 58.0% of people moved in during the last five years and 35.5% were born overseas. It also has a higher share of renters (40.5%) and people with bachelor degrees (25.4%) compared to postcode 4502. In contrast, postcode 4502 has more people who own their homes outright (25.2%) and a higher proportion of older residents, with the typical person aged 38.
