Common questions about Kangaroo Point

Is Kangaroo Point safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 11/100 for safety and ranking #248 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 231 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Dutton Park police division, not for Kangaroo Point alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Kangaroo Point good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 11/100, parks 46/100 and green space 54/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Kangaroo Point expensive to live in?

Median rent is $450 a week, and household income ranks #135 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 34/100 for value.

Does Kangaroo Point have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #200 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Kangaroo Point?

99% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 1.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 54/100 for green space.
