4873, QLD 4878, QLD

Postcode 4878 and postcode 4873 are two Queensland areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Postcode 4878 is more urban and mobile, with a typical resident aged 41 and a walkability score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable). It is far more connected, with 86.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, postcode 4873 is car-dependent (1.8 walkability score) and more rural, with a typical age of 47 and far more detached houses (88.8%). Education levels also differ; 57.8% of people in postcode 4878 completed Year 12, compared to 43.1% in postcode 4873.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. The difference in Year 12 completion and the number of people moving into the area have both increased, as has the age gap between residents. Despite these trends, they share some common ground: both have very similar rates of people in de facto relationships and roughly the same number of people per home. Both areas also sit near the national average for overall advantage.
