Language in Light
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant way of communicating in Light, where very few people use another language daily. Only 2.5% of residents speak a language other than English at home, a figure that has remained steady since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Almost everyone here speaks only English, at 92.9%, which is far below the national figure of 22.3% for other languages. Consequently, the 0.2% who speak little or no English is much lower than most areas.
