Language in Ravenshoe
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue for daily life in Ravenshoe (L), where 85.6% of people speak only this language. Very few residents use another language at home, making the area far less linguistically diverse than the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.7% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. However, the 0.8% who speak little or no English is much higher than in most similar areas.
