Postcode comparison ≈ 100 km apart · 4743, QLD profile · 4744, QLD profile

4743, QLD 4744, QLD

Postcode 4744 and postcode 4743 are two Queensland areas with very different scales. Postcode 4744 is much larger and more populated, with bigger schools and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $3,079. It also has a more walkable layout; 68.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 0.0% in postcode 4743. In contrast, postcode 4743 is sparsely populated and has a much higher share of people living alone at 33.7%, while postcode 4744 sits at 21.6%.

The gap in household income has widened significantly since 2011. Despite this, the two areas are almost identical in other ways, such as their share of people born overseas and those who speak a language other than English at home. Both areas are also very car-dependent, with neither having any public transport stops or departures per 1,000 people. This lack of transport is consistent across both places, regardless of the differences in their population size.
