4738, QLD 4740, QLD

Postcode 4740 and postcode 4738 are two nearby Queensland areas with very different scales and layouts. Postcode 4740 is a large population centre where 31.6% of households rent and 59.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. It is described as somewhat walkable, with a typical resident aged 38. In contrast, postcode 4738 is sparsely populated and car-dependent. Its residents are far older, with a typical age of 48, and 47.7% of homes are owned outright. While postcode 4740 has more larger homes with three or more bedrooms, postcode 4738 is dominated by separate houses.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown to 10 years, and the gap in home ownership and rental rates has also increased. Despite these diverging trends, they share a similar overall advantage score, both sitting near the national average.
