Aspley
Aspley is well served day-to-day, but the population is ageing.
Aspley is well served for the everyday — 4 schools and 4 supermarkets; among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 8 of 10). The trade-offs: an older population (median age 43 at the 2021 Census, against 38 for Queensland), with fewer young families.
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 43 and households on a median $1,838 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.

Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Aspley sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Aspley is policed by the Queensland Police Service Carseldine Division, which also covers Carseldine, Chermside West and Taigum - Fitzgibbon. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Aspley specifically.
Most-reported offences · Carseldine Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)1,537 /100k−42% vs QLD↓ 14%
- Assault558 /100k−47% vs QLD↑ 15%
- Drug Offences555 /100k−67% vs QLD↑ 15%
- Unlawful Entry273 /100k−60% vs QLD↓ 21%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle146 /100k−57% vs QLD↓ 25%
- Robbery26 /100k−43% vs QLD↓ 61%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Carseldine Division — not Aspley 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 Carseldine Division over the last 12 months, running 42% below the Queensland rate and down on the year before. None of this is specific to Aspley — 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
- 202217%
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
14% of Aspley is mapped as flood-liable, split by how often flooding is expected. This layer dates from 2013 and reads conservatively for some riverside suburbs.
- High 2.2%
- Medium 4.6%
- Low 4.4%
- Very Low 2.6%
Aspley has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, with up to about 17% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 14% of Aspley as flood-liable, roughly 6.9% 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 Aspley SA2, OpenStreetMap records 4 childcare and kindergarten centres, 4 supermarkets and 20 green spaces. For families: 1 library and 9 playgrounds. Eating out and socialising: 4 cafés and 6 restaurants. Staying active: 20 sports fields. Also 6 shopping centres. The nearest train station, Zillmere, is about 2,000 m from the suburb centre. OpenStreetMap also maps 70 bus stops here.
