Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 72/100 for safety and ranking #78 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 72 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Mango Hill North Lakes police division, not for Murrumba Downs alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 72/100, parks 40/100 and green space 28/100. 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 $360 a week, and household income ranks #185 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 57/100 for value.
It scores 75/100 for transit, #71 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
74% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 2.1 hectares per 1,000 residents — 28/100 for green space.
