Common questions about Yeronga

Is Yeronga safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 35/100 for safety and ranking #180 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 130 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Annerley police division, not for Yeronga alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Yeronga good for families?

It rates about average on the family measures we can compute — safety 35/100, parks 94/100 and green space 80/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Yeronga expensive to live in?

Median rent is $380 a week, and household income ranks #159 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 58/100 for value.

Does Yeronga have good public transport?
