Eatons Hill
Eatons Hill is well-off, but barely growing.
Eatons Hill is among the more advantaged parts of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 9 of 10); a higher-earning area (median household income $2,771 a week at the 2021 Census). The trade-offs: the population is barely moving — in fact it is shrinking; the nearest train station is a fair way off (Strathpine, about 6.1 km).
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 38 and households on a median $2,771 a week at the 2021 Census.
Compiled from ABS regional population (SA2), the 2021 Census, SEIFA 2021, Queensland Police Service reported offences, OpenStreetMap, TransLink timetables and Queensland Open Data.

Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Eatons Hill sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Eatons Hill is policed by the Queensland Police Service Albany Creek Division, which also covers Bridgeman Downs, McDowall, Albany Creek and The Hills District. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Eatons Hill specifically.
Most-reported offences · Albany Creek Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)725 /100k−72% vs QLD↑ 5%
- Assault284 /100k−73% vs QLD↑ 3%
- Unlawful Entry195 /100k−71% vs QLD↓ 16%
- Drug Offences193 /100k−88% vs QLD↓ 8%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle87 /100k−74% vs QLD↓ 32%
- Robbery11 /100k−76% vs QLD
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Albany Creek Division — not Eatons Hill 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 Albany Creek Division over the last 12 months, running 72% below the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Eatons Hill — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
