Language in Brighton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for the vast majority of people in Brighton. Only 4.8% of residents use another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 92.2% of people speak only English at home, and those who speak little or no English make up just 0.3% of the population. While these figures are higher than in some similar areas, they remain well below the Queensland average.
