Language in Arundel
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than one in five people in Arundel now speak a language other than English at home, a trend that has seen the area become much more linguistically diverse since 2011. While this is well above the Queensland figure, it sits just a little below the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Around 21.2% of residents use a language other than English, with Mandarin being the most common second language at 3.9%. This diversity is reflected in the 3% of people who speak little or no English, which is much higher than most similar areas.
