Palm Beach · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Palm Beach
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue for the vast majority of people in Palm Beach, where only 6.2% of residents use another language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the national average, though the proportion of non-English speakers has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 88.2% of people at home, a figure that is far above the national average. Very few residents struggle with the local language, with only 0.5% speaking little or no English, which is a little below the Queensland figure.
