4804, QLD 4816, QLD

Postcode 4816 and postcode 4804 are two regional Queensland areas with very different layouts. Postcode 4816 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 24.6%, and a higher share of people who speak a language other than English at home (11.6%). In contrast, postcode 4804 is far more walkable, as 82.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to just 27.4% in postcode 4816. Postcode 4804 also has a higher share of larger homes, with 79.0% having three or more bedrooms, while postcode 4816 sits at 68.3%.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with the gap in language diversity and home size widening, while the difference in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in many ways. Both have typical weekly household incomes around the same mark—$1,300 in postcode 4816 and $1,242 in postcode 4804—and both lack any public transport stops. Their overall advantage scores also sit closely together, and both are below the national figure.
