Common questions about Kuraby

Is Kuraby safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 50/100 for safety and ranking #136 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 110 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Upper Mount Gravatt police division, not for Kuraby alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Kuraby good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 50/100, parks 49/100 and green space 90/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Kuraby expensive to live in?

Median rent is $400 a week, and household income ranks #114 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 71/100 for value.

Does Kuraby have good public transport?
