Hawthorne · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Hawthorne
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of people in Hawthorne now speak a language other than English, with the figure rising 2.4 percentage points since 2011. However, at 9.1%, the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language for 88.4% of residents, and the 9.1% who use another language at home is well below the Queensland figure. This trend is mirrored in the very small number of people who speak little or no English, which at 0.6% is lower than most areas.
