Common questions about Clontarf

Is Clontarf safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 42/100 for safety and ranking #159 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 128 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Redcliffe police division, not for Clontarf alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Clontarf good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 42/100, parks 28/100 and green space 86/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Clontarf expensive to live in?

Median rent is $345 a week, and household income ranks #246 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 13/100 for value.

Does Clontarf have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #175 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
