Common questions about Salisbury

Is Salisbury safe?

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.

Is Salisbury good for families?

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.

Is Salisbury expensive to live in?

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.

Does Salisbury have good public transport?

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.

Are there parks in Salisbury?

74% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 8.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 52/100 for green space.
