Language in Gladstone
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Gladstone, where very few residents require translation services for daily life. Only 5.7% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed over the last five years.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that only 0.5% of residents speak little or no English, which is much lower than most other areas.
