4870, QLD 4895, QLD

Postcode 4895 and postcode 4870 are two very different Queensland regions. Postcode 4895 is a sprawling area where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher at 37.2%, compared to 9.9% in postcode 4870. This area also has much more modest incomes and education levels, with the typical weekly rent at just $140 and only 11.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 4870 is much more urban, with a typical weekly rent of $310 and a far higher share of university graduates at 22.1%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have shifted in several ways. The difference in university degrees and Year 12 completion has widened, while the gap in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has narrowed. Despite these trends, they share some common ground; for example, about 4% of residents in both areas served in the Defence Force, and the typical number of people per home is 2.4 in both places.
