4605, QLD 4608, QLD

Postcode 4605 also offers more walkable access to health services, groceries, and schools.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in home ownership and typical rent has widened, as has the difference in age and the number of one-parent families.
