Language in Springfield Lakes
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly one in three people in Springfield Lakes use a language other than English at home, making it much more linguistically diverse than most areas. This shift is striking, as the number of people speaking another language rose by 12 percentage points since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 66.3% of residents speak only English, 30.3% use another language, which is far above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. Punjabi is the most common non-English language at 4.0%, yet only 2.9% of people speak little or no English.
