It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 53/100 for safety and ranking #131 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 109 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Springwood police division, not for Rochedale South alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 53/100, parks 68/100 and green space 25/100. 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 $395 a week, and household income ranks #165 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 47/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #141 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
69% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 2.3 hectares per 1,000 residents — 25/100 for green space.
