Common questions about Nudgee

Is Nudgee safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 38/100 for safety and ranking #179 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 128 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Hendra police division, not for Nudgee alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Nudgee good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 38/100, parks 73/100 and green space 76/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Nudgee expensive to live in?

Median rent is $488 a week, and household income ranks #39 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 73/100 for value.

Does Nudgee have good public transport?
