Language in Wollondilly
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 90% of people in Wollondilly speak only English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than both the state and national averages, a trend that has remained steady over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.7% 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 fact that only 0.6% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
