It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 58/100 for safety and ranking #116 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 93 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Moorooka police division, not for Salisbury alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 58/100, parks 20/100 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 $400 a week, and household income ranks #113 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 70/100 for value.
It scores 81/100 for transit, #52 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
74% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 8.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 52/100 for green space.
