Language in Cook
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Cook, where 72.3% of people speak only this language at home. While 9.7% of residents use another language, this is far below the national figure of 22.3%.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home rose slightly to 9.7% since 2011, though this remains well below the Queensland average. Very few residents struggle with English, as only 0.9% speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
