Language in Redland
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far lower proportion of people speak a language other than English in Redland compared to the rest of the country. Only 7.4% of residents use another language at home, which is well below the Queensland and Australian figures. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the state.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While the share of people using another language at home rose 1.7 percentage points since 2011 to reach 7.4%, English remains the dominant tongue for 88.9% of residents. Very few people struggle with English here; only 0.7% speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
