Kallangur
Kallangur is well served day-to-day, but less advantaged.
Kallangur is well served for the everyday — 3 schools and 3 supermarkets; a young, family-heavy area (median age 35 at the 2021 Census, against 38 for Queensland). The trade-offs: it is less advantaged than most of Australia (SEIFA 2021, decile 2 of 10); unemployment ran above the Brisbane norm at the 2021 Census, at 7.3%.
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 35 and households on a median $1,456 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, OpenStreetMap, 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 Kallangur sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Kallangur is policed by the Queensland Police Service Petrie Division, which also covers Strathpine - Brendale, Petrie, Cashmere, Bray Park, Dakabin and Lawnton. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Kallangur specifically.
Most-reported offences · Petrie Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)2,148 /100k−18% vs QLD↑ 2%
- Drug Offences1,739 /100k+4% vs QLD↑ 41%
- Assault602 /100k−43% vs QLD↓ 12%
- Unlawful Entry295 /100k−56% vs QLD↓ 26%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle173 /100k−49% vs QLD↓ 5%
- Robbery39 /100k−15% vs QLD↑ 8%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Petrie Division — not Kallangur 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 Petrie Division over the last 12 months, running 18% below the Queensland rate and flat on the year before. None of this is specific to Kallangur — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
