Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 70/100 for safety and ranking #83 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 73 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Capalaba police division, not for Capalaba alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 70/100, parks 43/100 and green space 70/100. 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 $385 a week, and household income ranks #201 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 31/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #271 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
90% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 12.6 hectares per 1,000 residents — 70/100 for green space.
