Common questions about Stafford

Is Stafford safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 64/100 for safety and ranking #99 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 85 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Stafford police division, not for Stafford alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Stafford good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 64/100, parks 36/100 and green space 58/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Stafford expensive to live in?

Median rent is $360 a week, and household income ranks #200 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 46/100 for value.

Does Stafford have good public transport?
