Is Sunnybank Hills safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 23/100 for safety and ranking #212 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 161 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Acacia Ridge police division, not for Sunnybank Hills alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Sunnybank Hills good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 23/100, parks 74/100 and green space 42/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Sunnybank Hills expensive to live in?

Median rent is $410 a week, and household income ranks #207 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 19/100 for value.
