Shailer Park
Shailer Park is well served day-to-day, but rents have jumped.
Shailer Park is well served for the everyday — 3 schools and 4 supermarkets; a higher-earning area (median household income $2,225 a week at the 2021 Census). The trade-offs: rents have climbed hard — up 13% in the past year (RTA); renting is expensive, a median of $700 a week (RTA, 2026-Q2).
Mostly free-standing houses, with a median age of 39 and households on a median $2,225 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.

Safety context
Queensland Police Service · July 2026How much crime is reported where Shailer Park sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Shailer Park is policed by the Queensland Police Service Loganholme Division, which also covers Cornubia - Carbrook and Loganholme - Tanah Merah. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Shailer Park specifically.
Most-reported offences · Loganholme Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)3,420 /100k+30% vs QLD↑ 6%
- Drug Offences1,011 /100k−39% vs QLD↑ 22%
- Assault629 /100k−40% vs QLD↓ 19%
- Unlawful Entry575 /100k−15% vs QLD↑ 10%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle376 /100k+11% vs QLD↑ 7%
- Robbery23 /100k−49% vs QLD↓ 47%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Loganholme Division — not Shailer Park 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 Loganholme Division over the last 12 months, running 30% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Shailer Park — a police division usually spans several suburbs, so treat it as area context, not a street-level read.
