Is Park Ridge South safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 7/100 for safety and ranking #257 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 320 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Jimboomba police division, not for Park Ridge South alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Park Ridge South good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 7/100, parks 30/100 and green space 58/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
