Common questions about Mackenzie

Is Mackenzie safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 50/100 for safety and ranking #139 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 Mackenzie alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Mackenzie good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 50/100, parks 20/100 and green space 70/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Mackenzie expensive to live in?

Median rent is $500 a week, and household income ranks #18 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 89/100 for value.

Does Mackenzie have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #230 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Mackenzie?

89% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 16.3 hectares per 1,000 residents — 70/100 for green space.
