Common questions about Virginia

Is Virginia safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 13/100 for safety and ranking #239 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 194 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Boondall police division, not for Virginia alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Virginia good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 13/100, parks 42/100 and green space 29/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Virginia expensive to live in?

Median rent is $443 a week, and household income ranks #43 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 85/100 for value.

Does Virginia have good public transport?

It scores 94/100 for transit, #18 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.

Are there parks in Virginia?

60% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 3.5 hectares per 1,000 residents — 29/100 for green space.
