4865, QLD 4879, QLD

Postcode 4879 and postcode 4865 are two neighbouring Queensland areas with very different layouts. Postcode 4879 is more urban and somewhat walkable, where 63% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and 80.2% are within a short walk of public transport. Postcode 4865 is mostly car-dependent and much more rural, with 95.8% of dwellings being separate houses. There are also notable educational and social differences; postcode 4879 has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (22.4% compared to 12.1%) and a much larger proportion of people born overseas (28.0% compared to 10.9%).

These differences in birth place have become more pronounced, as the gap in the overseas-born population has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas are very similar when it comes to money and health. Typical weekly household incomes are almost identical, and both areas have about the same share of people living with a long-term health condition. Both postcodes also have exactly the same percentage of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
