4884, QLD 4887, QLD

Postcode 4887 and postcode 4884 are two Queensland areas with similar populations, though they differ sharply in education and accessibility. Postcode 4884 has a much better-qualified workforce, with 21.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.6% in postcode 4887. This gap in education is mirrored in general qualifications, as 50.4% of residents in postcode 4884 finished Year 12, while only 36.5% did so in postcode 4887. Postcode 4884 is also more walkable; for example, 42.2% of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 20.3% in postcode 4887.

Both areas are quite similar in their housing styles, with about 95% of homes being separate houses. This shared residential character exists alongside a shared lack of public transport, as neither area has any residents within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While the two areas track together in many ways, the gaps in educational attainment and employment have widened since 2011. Both areas also have populations that are much older than the national figure.
