Ashgrove
Ashgrove is well served day-to-day.
Ashgrove is well served for the everyday — 6 schools and 3 supermarkets; among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 10 of 10). The data here shows little against it. The usual checks still apply: inspect in person, confirm school catchment and flood status for the exact address.
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 38 and households on a median $2,873 a week at the 2021 Census.
Compiled from ABS regional population (SA2), the 2021 Census, SEIFA 2021, RTA median rents, Queensland Police Service reported offences, Brisbane City Council flood awareness data, OpenStreetMap, Brisbane City Council parks and trails, TransLink timetables and Queensland Open Data.

Components of population change over the sample year. Natural increase is shown apart from migration so the two are not read as one figure.

Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Ashgrove sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Ashgrove is policed by the Queensland Police Service The Gap Division, which also covers The Gap, Enoggera Reservoir and Bardon. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Ashgrove specifically.
Most-reported offences · The Gap Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)1,053 /100k−60% vs QLD↑ 12%
- Unlawful Entry233 /100k−66% vs QLD↓ 48%
- Drug Offences230 /100k−86% vs QLD↑ 9%
- Assault221 /100k−79% vs QLD↑ 29%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle130 /100k−61% vs QLD↓ 4%
- Robbery18 /100k−60% vs QLD↑ 297%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole The Gap Division — not Ashgrove 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 The Gap Division over the last 12 months, running 60% below the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Ashgrove — 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.
Historic flood exposure
- 202213%
- 2011<1%
Share of the suburb inside each event’s mapped flood surface. These maps cover only the river and creek extents of those specific events — being outside them does not mean a property is flood-free.
Council flood-likelihood modelling
7.6% of Ashgrove is mapped as flood-liable, split by how often flooding is expected. This layer dates from 2013 and reads conservatively for some riverside suburbs.
- Medium 3.2%
- Low 2.7%
- Very Low 1.8%
Ashgrove has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022 and 2011, with up to about 13% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 7.6% of Ashgrove as flood-liable, roughly 3.2% of it in a high or medium likelihood band.

Getting around, and what's nearby
OpenStreetMap · quarterlyWhat OpenStreetMap records inside the suburb boundary. Counts reflect what is tagged in OSM and can undercount a real but less-mapped area. The park count here is OpenStreetMap green space of any kind, including privately held land — it is a different measure from the council parks below.
Within the Ashgrove SA2, OpenStreetMap records 4 childcare and kindergarten centres, 5 GP or clinic locations, 3 supermarkets and 45 green spaces. For families: 1 library and 14 playgrounds. Eating out and socialising: 11 cafés and 15 restaurants. Staying active: 4 gyms and 62 sports fields. The nearest train station, Gaythorne, is about 2,800 m from the suburb centre. OpenStreetMap also maps 83 bus stops here.
