Language in Lockyer Valley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 86.2% of residents, while Mandarin is the most common other language at 1.3%. Only 1.6% of people speak little or no English, a figure that is about the same as the Queensland average and has barely changed since 2016.
