It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 20/100 for safety and ranking #224 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 180 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Beenleigh police division, not for Bethania alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 20/100, parks 34/100 and green space 24/100. 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 $340 a week, and household income ranks #272 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 0/100 for value.
