Language in 4868, QLD
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A notable gap exists between postcode 4868 and the rest of the country, as only 14.4% of residents use a language other than English at home compared to 22.3% nationally. While the area is more linguistically diverse than most similar places, it remains far less so than the Australian average. English is the dominant tongue for the vast majority of the population.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home rose to 14.4% since 2011, which is a little above the Queensland figure. Despite this, only 2.0% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
