Language in Robertson
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 86.5% of people in Robertson. This is a very high proportion compared to the rest of the country, with far fewer residents speaking a foreign language than in most other areas.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 8.6% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This trend is consistent with the fact that just 1.0% of residents speak little or no English, a figure well below the state average.
