Common questions about Red Hill

Is Red Hill safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 2/100 for safety and ranking #270 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 444 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Brisbane City police division, not for Red Hill alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Red Hill good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 2/100, parks 44/100 and green space 20/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Red Hill expensive to live in?

Median rent is $430 a week, and household income ranks #61 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 77/100 for value.

Does Red Hill have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #195 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Red Hill?

66% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 1.4 hectares per 1,000 residents — 20/100 for green space.
