Language in Lakeland
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About 46% of people in Lakeland speak only English at home, though the area is remarkably diverse. It has a much higher proportion of people using other languages than most similar areas, with 33% of residents speaking a language other than English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The 33% of people using another language at home is far above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This is consistent with 7.5% of residents speaking little or no English, which is well above the national figure of 3.4%.
