Common questions about Kenmore

Is Kenmore safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 93/100 for safety and ranking #26 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 51 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Indooroopilly police division, not for Kenmore alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Kenmore good for families?

It rates well on the family measures we can compute — safety 93/100, parks 72/100 and green space 51/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
