Westlake · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Westlake
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than one in four people in Westlake use a language other than English at home. This is far above the Queensland figure, meaning a wide variety of languages are heard throughout the suburb's daily life. This linguistic diversity has grown steadily over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 25.6% of residents speak another language at home, which is well above the Australian figure of 22.3%. While English is used by 72.8% of people, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Cantonese are the most common other languages. This is consistent with 3.0% of people speaking little or no English, a figure that is a little above the state average.
