Language in Gladstone
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 87.4% of people in Gladstone. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the country, although the proportion of people using another language at home has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Just 5.7% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that only 0.5% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
