Language in Copper Coast
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Almost everyone in Copper Coast speaks English as their primary language, making it far less linguistically diverse than most of the country. Only 2.3% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 90.9% of the population, which is far below the national figure of 22.3% for other languages. Very few people struggle with English, as only 0.2% speak little or no English, a rate much lower than most Australian areas.
