4872, QLD 4883, QLD

Postcode 4883 and postcode 4872 are two different types of Queensland settings, separated by about 87 km. Postcode 4883 is more developed, with a walkability score of 3.2 (mostly car-dependent) and 39.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of various amenities. In contrast, postcode 4872 is more car-dependent (1.1) and only 15.0% of homes have such walkable access. There are also stark differences in schooling; postcode 4883 has much larger average school sizes (562 pupils) compared to just 63 in postcode 4872, although postcode 4872 has far more schools per 1,000 children. Renting is also far more common in postcode 4883, where 34.6% of households rent, compared to 20.1% in postcode 4872.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $640. They also have almost identical shares of children under 15 and people born overseas. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the share of people who own their homes outright has narrowed since 2011. However, the gap in rental rates has widened over the same period. Both areas have populations that are far older than the national figure.
