4702, QLD 4720, QLD

Postcode 4702 and postcode 4720 are two Queensland areas with very different profiles. Postcode 4720 is a more urban environment where typical residents are younger (32 compared to 37 in postcode 4702) and a higher share of adults are working or looking for work (73.8% versus 60.1%). It also has a much higher share of people who finished Year 12 (53.6% compared to 41.1%) and households earning $3,000 or more a week (28.2% versus 17.3%). In contrast, postcode 4702 is more rural, with far more separate houses (95.8% compared to 80.5%) and a much higher proportion of homes owned outright (33.6% versus 16.5%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their lack of public transport, with neither having any residents within a 10-minute walk of a stop. They also share similar household layouts, with an identical typical size of 2.7 people per home. While postcode 4720 is mostly car-dependent and postcode 4702 is car-dependent, the gap in their walkability and accessibility to parks, schools, and shops has remained significant. Some differences have shifted since 2011, such as the gap in overseas arrivals and the share of people who own their homes outright, both of which have narrowed.
