Language in Hawkesbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for daily life in Hawkesbury, where 88.4% of people speak only English at home. While the number of people using other languages has risen slightly to 7.1% since 2011, this remains far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 7.1% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This is reflected in the very low 0.8% of people who speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
