Common questions about Dayboro

Is Dayboro safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 100/100 for safety and ranking #1 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 18 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Dayboro police division, not for Dayboro alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Dayboro good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 100/100, parks 34/100 and green space 45/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
