Common questions about Doolandella

Is Doolandella safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 47/100 for safety and ranking #148 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 110 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Inala police division, not for Doolandella alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Doolandella good for families?

It rates below average on the family measures we can compute — safety 47/100, parks 40/100 and green space 39/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Doolandella expensive to live in?

Median rent is $360 a week, and household income ranks #175 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 65/100 for value.

Does Doolandella have good public transport?
