Language in Pumicestone
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far lower proportion of people speak a language other than English in Pumicestone compared to the rest of the country. Only 4.7% of residents use another language at home, a figure that has barely changed since 2011. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other Australian regions.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 90.5% of the community, meaning the rate of people using other languages is well below the Queensland figure. This is consistent with the fact that very few residents, just 0.7%, speak little or no English.
