Common questions about Tingalpa

Is Tingalpa safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 67/100 for safety and ranking #95 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 78 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Wynnum police division, not for Tingalpa alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Tingalpa good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 67/100, parks 43/100 and green space 85/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Tingalpa expensive to live in?

Median rent is $420 a week, and household income ranks #157 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 36/100 for value.
