The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary tongue for 88% of people in Wingecarribee, making it a very linguistically uniform area. While the use of other languages has risen to 7% since 2011, this is still far below the figures for New South Wales and the rest of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 7% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the state and national figures. This reflects in the very small number of people who speak little or no English, sitting at just 0.6%.
