Labrador · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Labrador
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More people in Labrador speak a language other than English at home than in most similar areas. While 17.5% of residents use another language, this is well above the Queensland figure and has risen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 74.2% of people, but other common tongues include Mandarin, Arabic and Tagalog. About 2.8% of residents speak little or no English, which is a little above the state average and has barely changed since 2016.
