Common questions about Albion

Is Albion safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 38/100 for safety and ranking #168 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 128 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Hendra police division, not for Albion alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Albion good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 38/100, parks 86/100 and green space 40/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Albion expensive to live in?

Median rent is $410 a week, and household income ranks #153 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 44/100 for value.

Does Albion have good public transport?

It scores 97/100 for transit, #8 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
