Language in Laidley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.6% of people in Laidley use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the town much more linguistically uniform than most of Australia, though the use of other languages has risen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the sole language for 89.1% of residents, leaving the area well below the Queensland average for non-English speaking homes. While very few people speak little or no English (0.5%), this figure is actually higher than in most similar areas.
