Language in Belmont
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly one in five people in Belmont now speak a language other than English at home, a figure that has grown since 2011. This makes the area much more linguistically diverse than most similar places, though it still sits slightly below the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 19.5% of residents use another language at home, which is well above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. While 77.4% speak only English, the most common other languages are Mandarin, Cantonese, Greek, and Italian. A small number of people (2.4%) speak little or no English, which is much higher than in most similar areas.
