Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 70/100 for safety and ranking #86 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 73 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Capalaba police division, not for Gumdale alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is parks and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 70/100, parks 20/100 and green space 12/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
Median rent is $585 a week, and household income ranks #5 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 85/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #272 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
35% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 1.4 hectares per 1,000 residents — 12/100 for green space.
