Common questions about Ascot

Is Ascot safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 38/100 for safety and ranking #170 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 128 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Hendra police division, not for Ascot alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Ascot good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 38/100, parks 33/100 and green space 15/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Ascot expensive to live in?

Median rent is $390 a week, and household income ranks #86 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 84/100 for value.

Does Ascot have good public transport?

It scores 96/100 for transit, #12 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Ascot?

62% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 0.7 hectares per 1,000 residents — 15/100 for green space.
