Common questions about Pallara

Is Pallara safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 47/100 for safety and ranking #149 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 110 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Inala police division, not for Pallara alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Pallara good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 47/100, parks 57/100 and green space 40/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
