Common questions about Meadowbrook

Is Meadowbrook safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 9/100 for safety and ranking #255 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 251 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Logan Central police division, not for Meadowbrook alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Meadowbrook good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 9/100, parks 67/100 and green space 74/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Meadowbrook expensive to live in?

Median rent is $385 a week, and household income ranks #212 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 26/100 for value.

Does Meadowbrook have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #260 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
