Balmoral · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Balmoral
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 10.1% of people in Balmoral use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia. While the proportion of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2011, English remains the dominant language here.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most residents speak only English (85.9%), and those who use another language at home are well below the Queensland average. Only 0.8% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016 and is lower than in most areas.
