Common questions about Kingston

Is Kingston safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 9/100 for safety and ranking #253 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 251 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Logan Central police division, not for Kingston alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Kingston good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 9/100, parks 76/100 and green space 78/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Kingston expensive to live in?

Median rent is $315 a week, and household income ranks #266 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 5/100 for value.

Does Kingston have good public transport?

It scores 75/100 for transit, #69 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Kingston?

97% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 9.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 78/100 for green space.
