Language in Oxley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 22% of people in Oxley speak a language other than English at home, a figure well above the Queensland average. This makes the area more linguistically diverse than much of the state, with the proportion of people using other languages rising since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 74% of residents speak only English, Vietnamese is the most common second language at 4.8%. Around 3.1% of the community speak little or no English, which is a little above the state figure and has barely changed since 2016.
