It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 54/100 for safety and ranking #126 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 102 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Loganholme police division, not for Tanah Merah 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 54/100, parks 59/100 and green space 50/100. 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 $380 a week, and household income ranks #170 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 53/100 for value.
It scores 33/100 for transit, #261 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
78% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 6.8 hectares per 1,000 residents — 50/100 for green space.
