Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 83/100 for safety and ranking #49 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 59 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Ferny Grove police division, not for Mitchelton alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 83/100, parks 46/100 and green space 31/100. 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 $400 a week, and household income ranks #89 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 80/100 for value.
