Common questions about Belmont

Is Belmont safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 70/100 for safety and ranking #81 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 73 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Capalaba police division, not for Belmont alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Belmont good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 70/100, parks 16/100 and green space 20/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Belmont expensive to live in?

Median rent is $460 a week, and household income ranks #52 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 68/100 for value.

Does Belmont have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #227 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Belmont?

33% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 3.0 hectares per 1,000 residents — 20/100 for green space.
