It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 64/100 for safety and ranking #105 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 85 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Stafford police division, not for Newmarket 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 64/100, parks 68/100 and green space 50/100. 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 $383 a week, and household income ranks #84 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 86/100 for value.
It scores 94/100 for transit, #17 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
90% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 3.4 hectares per 1,000 residents — 50/100 for green space.
