Marsden · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Marsden
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than three out of ten people in Marsden speak a language other than English at home. This linguistic diversity has grown quickly over the last decade, making it a much more multilingual area than most other parts of the state.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 31.2% of residents use another language at home, which is far above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This trend is matched by a rise in people who speak little or no English, now reaching 6.8%, which is well above the national figure of 3.4%.
