Language in Kingston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far greater share of the community now speaks a language other than English in Kingston compared to previous years. Over a quarter of residents use another language at home, making this area much more linguistically diverse than most other parts of the state.

English and the largest community languages.
About 26.1% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This diversity is reflected in the 6.2% who speak little or no English, a proportion that is among the highest for areas of this size.
