Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Annerley sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Annerley is policed by the Queensland Police Service Annerley Division, which also covers Fairfield - Dutton Park and Yeronga. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Annerley specifically.
Most-reported offences · Annerley Division, last 12 months

Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Annerley Division — not Annerley on its own; the arrow compares the last 12 months with the 12 before.
Of these categories, other theft is reported most across the whole Annerley Division over the last 12 months, running 21% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Annerley — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.

Flood risk
Brisbane City Council · updated August 2026Has this suburb flooded before, and how much of it does Brisbane City Council map as flood-liable? The historic extents are the ground truth; the likelihood bands are the council's modelling of how often flooding is expected.
