Language in Moree Plains
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About 76% of people in Moree Plains speak only English at home. This makes it a very linguistically uniform area compared to the rest of the country, though the proportion of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.7% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that those who speak little or no English make up just 0.3% of the population, a figure well below the New South Wales average.
