Common questions about Boondall

Is Boondall safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 13/100 for safety and ranking #243 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 194 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Boondall police division, not for Boondall alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Boondall good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 13/100, parks 43/100 and green space 75/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Boondall expensive to live in?

Median rent is $415 a week, and household income ranks #172 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 32/100 for value.
