4581, QLD 4670, QLD

Postcode 4670 and postcode 4581 are two Queensland areas with very different population sizes. Postcode 4670 is much larger and more family-oriented, with a typical resident aged 46 and a higher share of children under 15 (16.9%). This is reflected in its infrastructure, with 36 schools within 3km and far more public transport departures. In contrast, postcode 4581 is sparsely populated and significantly older, with a typical resident aged 55 and nearly 30% of the population aged 65 or over.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several key ways. The gap in typical age has widened to 9 years, and the difference in the share of large, three-bedroom homes has grown to 11 percentage points. Despite these shifts, the two places remain very similar in some areas of daily life. They share a similar typical weekly rent of around $280 to $285, and both have’ similar rates of recent overseas arrivals and people who speak little or no English.
