Climate Safety Score
5.2Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Deagon faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its low-lying areas and proximity to waterways. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, exacerbating flood risk.
- Bushfire
- The bushfire risk in Deagon is relatively low due to the suburb's urban development and limited vegetation. However, nearby bushland areas pose a potential threat during dry periods.
- Heat
- Deagon experiences a moderate risk of heatwaves, particularly during the summer months. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, posing a risk to vulnerable populations.
- Storm
- Notable storm risk — tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms in summer months
- Postcode
- 4017
- Region
- Greater Brisbane
- Median property value
- $950,000

Climate Safety Analysis
Deagon in Queensland has an overall climate safety rating of Medium. This multi-hazard assessment combines flood, bushfire, heat, coastal, and storm risk data with climate projections to 2050 from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Key factors affecting Deagon's climate safety include heat, flood, coastal. Each hazard is assessed independently and combined for an overall picture. Australia has warmed by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with flow-on effects to fire weather, extreme rainfall, and heatwave frequency.
Climate safety for property in Deagon is not uniform — it varies by address. Factors such as elevation, distance to waterways, proximity to bushland, and local drainage all influence actual risk at a specific property. Two nearby properties can have materially different risk profiles.
For a complete property-specific climate safety report for Deagon including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
