It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 44/100 for safety and ranking #153 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 116 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Petrie police division, not for Petrie 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 44/100, parks 60/100 and green space 52/100. 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 $360 a week, and household income ranks #183 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 60/100 for value.
