Common questions about Spring Hill

Is Spring Hill safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 2/100 for safety and ranking #275 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 444 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Brisbane City police division, not for Spring Hill alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Spring Hill good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 2/100, parks 31/100 and green space 62/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Spring Hill expensive to live in?

Median rent is $410 a week, and household income ranks #171 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 35/100 for value.

Does Spring Hill have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #201 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
