Common questions about Cleveland

Is Cleveland safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 76/100 for safety and ranking #70 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 66 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Cleveland police division, not for Cleveland alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Cleveland good for families?

It rates well on the family measures we can compute — safety 76/100, parks 87/100 and green space 55/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Cleveland expensive to live in?

Median rent is $400 a week, and household income ranks #237 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 2/100 for value.

Does Cleveland have good public transport?

It scores 67/100 for transit, #92 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
