Language in Stockton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far higher share of people now use a language other than English at home in Stockton than in 2011. About one in four residents speaks another language, which is much higher than most similar areas. This shift makes the community more linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 24.6% of people use another language at home, which is far above the Queensland figure of 13.2%. This is reflected in the fact that 7.0% of residents speak little or no English, a rate well above the national figure of 3.4%.
