Language in Central Goldfields
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Central Goldfields, with a very small number of residents using other languages. Only 3% of the population speaks a language other than English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The use of other languages rose slightly since 2011 to reach 3%, though this remains far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. This high level of English proficiency is reflected in the fact that only 0.2% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure of 3.4%.
