4709, QLD 4717, QLD

Postcode 4717 and postcode 4709 are two Queensland areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Postcode 4717 is somewhat walkable, with 70% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 97.2% near a park. In contrast, postcode 4709 is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, health services, or groceries. Postcode 4709 has a higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (54.9% compared to 44.1% in postcode 4717) and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (49.3% versus 33.5%).

The gap in high-earning households has widened since 2011, reflecting a growing difference in wealth between the two places. Despite this, both areas have similar proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (around 10%) and very low access to public transport. They also both have high shares of children under 15, which are well above the national figure.
