Language in Federation
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A tiny 2.3% of people in Federation use a language other than English at home, a figure far below the New South Wales and national averages. English is the dominant language here, and this trend has remained steady over the last five years.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 90.6% of residents, with only 0.3% of people speaking little or no English, which is well below the national figure. Other languages spoken in small numbers include Mandarin, Tagalog, Italian and Punjabi.
