4702, QLD 4709, QLD

Postcode 4702 and postcode 4709 are two very different Queensland areas located about 126km apart. Postcode 4709 is a high-earning hub where the typical weekly household income is $3,125, compared to $1,649 in postcode 4702. There are also stark differences in housing; 90.9% of homes in postcode 4709 are rented, while 33.6% of homes in postcode 4702 are owned outright. Postcode 4702 has an older population, with 15.3% of residents aged 65 and over, compared to just 1.0% in postcode 4709.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with gaps in income and housing tenure generally widening. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as similar rates of volunteering and very few people using a language other than English at home. Both areas are almost entirely car-dependent, as neither has any public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people.
