Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 83/100 for safety and ranking #48 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 59 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Ferny Grove police division, not for Arana Hills alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
It rates well on the family measures we can compute — safety 83/100, parks 89/100 and green space 67/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
Median rent is $440 a week, and household income ranks #88 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 56/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #184 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
97% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 5.0 hectares per 1,000 residents — 67/100 for green space.
