Common questions about North Maclean

Is North Maclean safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 7/100 for safety and ranking #259 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 320 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Jimboomba police division, not for North Maclean alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is North Maclean good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and parks and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 7/100, parks 1/100 and green space 15/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is North Maclean expensive to live in?
