In Cloncurry, the 2021 Census counted 3.3 per cent of residents speaking a language other than English at home, led by Mandarin and Filipino. The top two are almost level. Across Queensland, the share speaking another language is more than double.
These three top a list of small communities.
Cloncurry's share is less than half the national share. In Queensland, 39 councils rank above Cloncurry.

Data: ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home, summed from Statistical Area Level 2 to council. Changes are against the 2016 Census.
How the headline share is counted: 3.3% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 561 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 18.9%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 3.9%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.
People with no usual address fall outside any suburb, which is why the national figure here is a fraction under the ABS one. The council figures aren't affected.
