Postcode comparison ≈ 17 km apart · 4518, QLD profile · 4553, QLD profile

4518, QLD 4553, QLD

Postcode 4553 and postcode 4518 are nearby Queensland areas with very different profiles. Postcode 4553 is a much younger place, where the typical resident is 34, compared to 42 in postcode 4518. This younger population helps explain why 22.2% of residents are children under 15 and why it has many more school enrolments. Postcode 4553 also has a more qualified and mobile population, with a far higher share of people who finished Year 12 (60.7%) and a much larger proportion who moved in the last five years (60.4%).

These differences have become more pronounced over time, particularly the age gap, which grew from two years in 2011 to eight years today. Despite this, the two areas share some similarities; they both have almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and very similar unemployment rates. Both areas also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
