Common questions about Greenbank

Is Greenbank safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 31/100 for safety and ranking #195 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 139 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Browns Plains police division, not for Greenbank alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Greenbank good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 31/100, parks 55/100 and green space 52/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Greenbank expensive to live in?

Median rent is $430 a week, and household income ranks #87 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 64/100 for value.

Does Greenbank have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #251 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
