Language in Plainland
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 91.3% of people in Plainland (L). Very few residents use a foreign tongue at home, and the area has a much lower rate of non-English speakers than both Queensland and Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.5% of people use another language at home, a figure that is far below the national average and has barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the very low 0.2% of residents who speak little or no English, which is a little below the state figure.
