Language in Murray River
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 90% of people in Murray River speak only English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state and the nation, though the number of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2016.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.5% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This trend is reflected in the low number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.6%.
