Common questions about Albany Creek

Is Albany Creek safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 98/100 for safety and ranking #7 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 26 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Albany Creek police division, not for Albany Creek alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Albany Creek good for families?

It rates well on the family measures we can compute — safety 98/100, parks 50/100 and green space 72/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
