4854, QLD 4886, QLD

Postcode 4854 and postcode 4886 are two Queensland areas with a few striking differences. Postcode 4854 is much more diverse, with 17.2% of residents arriving from overseas recently compared to just 2.5% in postcode 4886. It also has a larger school presence, with an average school size of 214 students and six schools within 3 km, while postcode 4886 has only one school and an average size of 35. Postcode 4886 is notably older, with a typical resident aged 51, compared to 43 in postcode 4854.
