Common questions about Carseldine

Is Carseldine safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 80/100 for safety and ranking #56 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 63 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Carseldine police division, not for Carseldine alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Carseldine good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 80/100, parks 72/100 and green space 54/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
