Common questions about Riverview

Is Riverview safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 17/100 for safety and ranking #227 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 182 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Goodna police division, not for Riverview alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Riverview good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 17/100, parks 64/100 and green space 18/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Riverview expensive to live in?

Median rent is $270 a week, and household income ranks #271 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 15/100 for value.

Does Riverview have good public transport?

It scores 72/100 for transit, #77 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
