Language in Highfields
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.6% of people in Highfields speak a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia and Queensland. The proportion of residents using other languages has barely changed since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the dominant language here, spoken exclusively by 93.6% of residents. Very few people struggle with English, with only 0.3% saying they speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the Australian average.
