Common questions about Springwood

Is Springwood safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 53/100 for safety and ranking #130 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 109 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Springwood police division, not for Springwood alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Springwood good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 53/100, parks 66/100 and green space 64/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.
