4601, QLD 4612, QLD

Postcode 4601 and postcode 4612 are both sparsely populated areas in Queensland. There are clear differences in how people live and work; postcode 4601 has a far higher share of people working or looking for work (51.6% compared to 36.8%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (11.4% versus 1.4%). Postcode 4601 also has a much higher rate of volunteering at 22.7%, while postcode 4612 sees far more homes owned outright (59.3% compared to 45.2%).

These two areas are very similar in their lack of public transport and the number of people born overseas. This shared experience extends to their walkability scores, as both are car-dependent. While they share these traits, other gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in home ownership and the number of people with higher education qualifications.
