It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 11/100 for safety and ranking #247 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 231 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Dutton Park police division, not for Woolloongabba alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.
Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and green space. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 11/100, parks 88/100 and green space 12/100. 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 $440 a week, and household income ranks #180 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 20/100 for value.
It scores 90/100 for transit, #28 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
53% of the suburb is within walking distance of a park, at 0.5 hectares per 1,000 residents — 12/100 for green space.
Scores are percentiles against every other suburb in Brisbane: 100 is the
