It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 2/100 for safety and ranking #272 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 444 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Brisbane City police division, not for Milton alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 2/100, parks 96/100 and green space 30/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
Median rent is $435 a week, and household income ranks #126 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 43/100 for value.
It scores 98/100 for transit, #5 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
78% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 2.0 hectares per 1,000 residents — 30/100 for green space.
