Language in Muswellbrook
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A slightly higher share of people in Muswellbrook now speak a language other than English, rising to 4.1% since 2011. This is still far below the national figure and reflects a community where English is overwhelmingly the main language spoken at home.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 88% of residents, meaning the 4.1% who use another language is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. Very few people struggle with English, as the 0.3% who speak little or no English is well below the Australian average.
