4700, QLD 4703, QLD

Postcode 4703 and postcode 4700 are two nearby Queensland areas with very different living patterns. Postcode 4703 is more car-dependent, with a typical resident aged 43 and a high share of large homes, as 78.9% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, postcode 4700 is somewhat walkable and has a higher density of services, including far more schools per child. Postcode 4700 also has a much higher proportion of people living alone (34.6%) and more recent overseas arrivals (21.5%).

Since 2011, several gaps between the two areas have widened, including the difference in rental rates and the share of larger homes. Despite these shifting trends, they remain alike in other ways. Both areas have a similar share of people born overseas, nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes around $740 to $770, and very low use of public transport. Both also sit near the national figure for overall advantage.
