is a youthful city. The average age of Brisbane’s population is thirty-three
years and twenty-one percent of the total population is under the age of
fifteen.

of Brisbane’s population was born overseas. In 1996 over fifteen percent of
the population spoke a language other than English at home with Cantonese,
Italian, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Greek, Spanish, German, Tagalog (Filipino),
Polish and Russian being some of the most commonly spoken languages. |
