Language in Umagico
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About 78.2% of people in Umagico (L) speak a language other than English at home. This is far above the national figure, marking the area as one of the most linguistically diverse places of its kind. While this figure fell slightly since 2011, many residents still use a second language daily.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home is far above the Queensland figure. This sits alongside a rise in the number of people who speak little or no English, which grew to 13.2% since 2016 and is now well above the national average.
