Common questions about Zillmere

Is Zillmere safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 13/100 for safety and ranking #241 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 194 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Boondall police division, not for Zillmere alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Zillmere good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 13/100, parks 16/100 and green space 53/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Zillmere expensive to live in?

Median rent is $350 a week, and household income ranks #239 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 15/100 for value.

Does Zillmere have good public transport?

It scores 84/100 for transit, #46 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
