Language in Redcliffe
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of people in Redcliffe have started using languages other than English at home, rising to 6.5% since 2011. Despite this increase, the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the national average. Most residents speak only English, and very few struggle with the language.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.5% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This low diversity is reflected in the fact that just 0.6% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
