Common questions about Hendra

Is Hendra safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 38/100 for safety and ranking #172 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 128 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Hendra police division, not for Hendra alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Hendra good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 38/100, parks 12/100 and green space 14/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Hendra expensive to live in?

Median rent is $550 a week, and household income ranks #17 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 75/100 for value.

Does Hendra have good public transport?

It scores 89/100 for transit, #31 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Hendra?

54% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 1.0 hectares per 1,000 residents — 14/100 for green space.
