Common questions about Wynnum

Is Wynnum safe?

It is around the middle of the pack for Brisbane, scoring 67/100 for safety and ranking #90 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 78 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Wynnum police division, not for Wynnum alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Wynnum good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 67/100, parks 37/100 and green space 35/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Wynnum expensive to live in?
