Language in Page
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A massive drop in non-English speaking households has occurred in Page since 2011. Only 4.6% of people now use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This shift makes the area one of the least linguistically diverse in the region.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 87.8% of residents, and the proportion of people using other languages has fallen 22 points since 2011. Very few people struggle with English, with just 0.6% speaking little or no English, a figure well below the New South Wales average.
