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

Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Coorparoo Division — not Coorparoo 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 Coorparoo Division over the last 12 months, running 1% below the Queensland rate and down on the year before. None of this is specific to Coorparoo — 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.

- 20117.9%
- 197419%
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
13% of Coorparoo 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 1.4%
- Medium 1.7%
- Low 8.9%
- Very Low 1.1%
Coorparoo has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, 2011 and 1974, with up to about 19% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 13% of Coorparoo as flood-liable, roughly 3.1% 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 Coorparoo SA2, OpenStreetMap records 6 childcare and kindergarten centres, 7 GP or clinic locations, 3 supermarkets and 38 green spaces. For families: 15 playgrounds. Eating out and socialising: 8 cafés, 17 restaurants and 3 pubs and bars. Staying active: 57 sports fields. Also 1 cinema and 1 shopping centre. The nearest train station, Coorparoo, is about 1,200 m from the suburb centre. OpenStreetMap also maps 75 bus stops here.
