Language in Bunbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is spoken by 83.7% of people in Bunbury, meaning far fewer residents use another language at home compared to the national average. While the use of other languages has risen slightly over the last decade, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than the rest of the country.
Languages at home

Around 8.6% of people use a language other than English at home, which is higher than most similar areas but far below the national figure of 22.3%. Only 1.0% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
