That figure is reported for the Capalaba police division, not for Alexandra Hills alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Alexandra Hills good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 70/100, parks 40/100 and green space 64/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
