Diversity Figures snapshot and report

In addition to the Search Diversity Queensland interactive search tool, the Queensland Government compiled the Diversity Figures Snapshot and accompanying Diversity Figures Report to illustrate the unique features of our diverse population.

The report and snapshot bring together core demographic and diversity data from the ABS 2021 Census of Population and Housing.

There are several social and cultural characteristics featured in the Diversity figures including:

  • country of birth of overseas born people in Queensland
  • geographic distribution of Queensland's diverse population
  • language spoken other than English, and English proficiency
  • religious affiliation and ancestry of Queensland's population
  • education and employment characteristics.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
