It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 53/100 for safety and ranking #133 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 109 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Springwood police division, not for Slacks Creek alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 53/100, parks 62/100 and green space 79/100. 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 $310 a week, and household income ranks #257 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 19/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #143 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
95% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 16.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 79/100 for green space.
