Language in Central Highlands
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for 83% of people in Central Highlands (Qld). Only 5.8% of residents use another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. While this is a very low proportion, the number of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Very few people here speak little or no English, with only 0.7% of the population in this group. This is a little below the figures for both Queensland and Australia, and the number has barely changed since 2016.
