Common questions about Coopers Plains

Is Coopers Plains safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 58/100 for safety and ranking #115 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 93 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Moorooka police division, not for Coopers Plains alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Coopers Plains good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 58/100, parks 39/100 and green space 2/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Coopers Plains expensive to live in?

Median rent is $369 a week, and household income ranks #221 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 21/100 for value.
