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

Mixed, and the weak spot is green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 93/100, parks 73/100 and green space 22/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
