- Internal migration in+1,094
- Internal migration out+1,088
- Overseas migration in+266
- Natural increase+11
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 Yeronga sits — measured for its whole police division, because that is the finest area the Queensland Police Service publishes.
Yeronga is policed by the Queensland Police Service Annerley Division, which also covers Annerley and Fairfield - Dutton Park. The reported-offence figures below are for the whole division, not Yeronga specifically.
Most-reported offences · Annerley Division, last 12 months
- Other Theft (excl. Unlawful Entry)3,178 /100k+21% vs QLD↑ 12%
- Drug Offences1,271 /100k−24% vs QLD↑ 101%
- Unlawful Entry1,128 /100k+67% vs QLD↑ 22%
- Assault659 /100k−37% vs QLD↓ 11%
- Unlawful Use of Motor Vehicle441 /100k+31% vs QLD↑ 31%
- Robbery53 /100k+18% vs QLD↑ 23%
Rate per 100,000 people across the whole Annerley Division — not Yeronga 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 Annerley Division over the last 12 months, running 21% above the Queensland rate and up on the year before. None of this is specific to Yeronga — 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
- 202232%
- 201142%
- 197455%
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
18% of Yeronga 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%
- Medium 5.3%
- Low <1%
- Very Low 12%
Yeronga has been within a mapped flood extent before — in 2022, 2011 and 1974, with up to about 55% of the suburb inundated in the worst of those events. Council's flood-likelihood modelling maps about 18% of Yeronga as flood-liable, roughly 5.7% 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 Yeronga SA2, OpenStreetMap records 7 childcare and kindergarten centres, 3 GP or clinic locations, 1 supermarket and 30 green spaces. For families: 1 library and 11 playgrounds. Eating out and socialising: 10 cafés and 8 restaurants. Staying active: 7 gyms and 63 sports fields. Also 2 shopping centres. The nearest train station, Yeerongpilly, is about 500 m from the suburb centre. OpenStreetMap also maps 88 bus stops here.
