4550, QLD 4554, QLD

Postcode 4550 and postcode 4554 are neighbouring Queensland areas with very different levels of accessibility. Postcode 4550 is more walkable, with a score of 3.6 (mostly car-dependent) and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, groceries and health services. It also has a much more mobile population, with 46.3% of people moving in the last five years. In contrast, postcode 4554 is strictly car-dependent with a walkability score of 0.9, and almost all of its residents live in separate houses (98.9%).

These two areas share many core traits, including very similar proportions of children and retirees, and nearly identical typical weekly incomes. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are growing; residents in postcode 4554 are now noticeably older than those in postcode 4550, and the difference in home ownership and housing types has widened since 2011.
