Common questions about Griffin

Is Griffin safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 72/100 for safety and ranking #77 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 72 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Mango Hill North Lakes police division, not for Griffin alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Griffin good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 72/100, parks 22/100 and green space 80/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Griffin expensive to live in?

Median rent is $385 a week, and household income ranks #147 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 66/100 for value.

Does Griffin have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #170 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Griffin?

91% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 49.1 hectares per 1,000 residents — 80/100 for green space.
