Mango Hill, QLD
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Mango Hill is a suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, on the northern fringe of greater Brisbane in Queensland. It had been known locally by this name since the 1950s before the title was formally proclaimed in 1980. The name honours the avenue of mango trees planted along the stretch of Anzac Avenue that runs through the area, a commemorative planting begun in the 1920s as a living memorial to soldiers lost in the First World War; that section of road was given heritage listing in 2009. In 2006 the northern part of Mango Hill was subdivided to create the separate suburb of North Lakes, whose railway line and major shopping centres now serve the wider district. Mango Hill gained its own railway stations in 2016 and has grown rapidly with new schools and housing.
More advantaged than the national average
Mango Hill is more socio-economically advantaged than about 70% of the 14,462 Australian suburbs we score, based on the ABS SEIFA index (raw score 1022, where about 1000 is the national average).
A socio-economic measure from ABS Census data — not a measure of how good a suburb is to live in or visit. How we calculate this.
Is Mango Hill a good place to live?
There’s no single answer — it depends on what matters to you. So instead of one mystery number, we break it down: a transparent score on each part of life we can back with public data, and an honest “not yet” on the parts we can’t.
Around the national middle
A weighted blend of the 2 components we can score for Mango Hill from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.

Not yet scored
We’d rather leave these open than publish a number we can’t stand behind. Here’s where each one stands.
- Amenities & accessNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap amenity mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- Green spaceNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap green-space mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- TransportNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap public-transport mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- SchoolsNot scored yet — school performance (ACARA / ICSEA) needs a data-reuse licence cleared before we can publish it.
- SafetyNot scored yet — Australia has no single open crime dataset and safety data carries defamation and legal care, so it is gated pending a go/no-go and will be data-only when added.
- CommunityNot scored yet — we won't reduce community to a number from a proxy. We'd rather leave it open than publish an invented value judgement.
A transparent read on public data, not a verdict — and not a measure of any person or community. See our methodology for how each component is worked out and why some aren’t scored yet.
