Suburbs with fewer than 50 residential lots
Shown, not ranked: with so few lots one lot moves the share a long way.

Brisbane City (the CBD) is zoned Principal centre, so its apartment towers are not in these counts; the free address check reads the flood extents for any address there.
How the shares are made, and what they cannot tell you
- Lots, not homes. Every land lot in the Queensland cadastre (DCDB), one per lot/plan; common property of a unit scheme is dropped unless it is the only lot (the land under an apartment building). A tower with hundreds of apartments counts as one lot.
- Residential lots are lots whose centre point is in a Brisbane City Plan residential zone (low, low-medium, medium, high density and character residential, and rural residential). Homes in Mixed use, Centre or Emerging community zones are not counted.
- Inside an extent means the lot's centre point lies inside the Council's mapped outline of that flood. A lot only partly covered can count either way.
- The three floods are mapped differently. The February 2022 outline covers the Brisbane River and creek flooding but not overland flow; the January 2011 and January 1974 outlines cover Brisbane River flooding. A suburb at 0% can still have creek or overland flow flooding in the Council's Flood Awareness Map.
- Past, not future. An outline shows where a past flood reached. For the chance of flooding at an address, the Council's Flood Awareness Map gives likelihood by source; the free address check shows it.
- Checked. Every layer was compared with the Council's live map service at sample lots in Hendra, Chapel Hill, Kangaroo Point, Rocklea and New Farm and at 100 random lots: all agreed.
Questions people ask
Which Brisbane suburbs flooded in 2022?
Residential lots inside the Council's mapped February 2022 flood extent are in 115 Brisbane suburbs. The largest shares of residential lots inside it were Pinkenba (66%, 99 of 150 residential lots), Rocklea (57%, 392 of 691 residential lots), Deagon (40%, 731 of 1,830 residential lots), Fairfield (28%, 307 of 1,104 residential lots), Chelmer (22%, 306 of 1,374 residential lots), Archerfield (18%, 43 of 238 residential lots). City-wide 9,416 of 393,179 residential lots (2.4%) are inside it. Lots are land parcels, not homes.
Which Brisbane suburbs were inside the 2011 flood?
The largest shares of residential lots inside the Council's mapped January 2011 flood extent were Rocklea (84%, 583 of 691 residential lots), Chelmer (50%, 692 of 1,374 residential lots), Fairfield (44%, 484 of 1,104 residential lots), Tennyson (35%, 124 of 353 residential lots), Archerfield (28%, 67 of 238 residential lots), Graceville (27%, 548 of 1,999 residential lots). City-wide 8,527 residential lots (2.2%).
Is Chapel Hill flood prone?
Chapel Hill: <0.1% of 3,754 residential lots inside the February 2022 extent and 0.1% inside January 2011; on the Flood Awareness Map 2.7% are in a mapped river flood likelihood class, 1.1% in a creek class and 2.6% in an overland flow class. Flood mapping varies street by street; the free address check reads it for one address.
Is Hendra flood prone?
Hendra: 7.0% of 2,191 residential lots inside the February 2022 extent and 0% inside January 2011; on the Flood Awareness Map 0% are in a mapped river flood likelihood class, 14% in a creek class and 5.8% in an overland flow class.
Does 0% mean a suburb cannot flood?
No. The 2011 and 1974 outlines cover Brisbane River flooding only and the 2022 outline does not cover overland flow. The Council's Flood Awareness Map shows river, creek, overland flow and storm tide likelihood separately, and no map can promise that a home will or will not flood.

A suburb figure is an average. The free check reads the official maps for one address: flood and the road out, bushfire, noise, the planning zone, school catchments, transport and crime around that address, each with its source.
