Language in Callide
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 84.8% of people in Callide. This is a very high proportion compared to the rest of the country, making the area much less linguistically diverse than most other regions.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.2% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This helps explain why very few people here, just 0.7%, speak little or no English.
