The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 88.8% of people in Wilsonton. While most residents speak only English, there are small numbers of people using Tagalog, Mandarin, Arabic and Hindi at home. This makes the area more linguistically diverse than many similar places, even though it is far less diverse than the national average.

About 6.6% of people use another language at home, which is higher than most similar areas but far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. Only 1.8% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is about the same as the Queensland average.
