Roma · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Roma
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue for daily life in Roma, where only 6.1% of people use another language at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, meaning the vast majority of residents share a common primary language.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.1% of people use a language other than English at home, which is well below the Queensland average, though this figure rose 1.6 points since 2011. English is used by 82.9% of residents, and very few people struggle with the language, as only 0.3% speak little or no English.
