Language in Dalwallinu
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant way of communicating in Dalwallinu, where 75.1% of people speak only that language at home. While the area is far less linguistically diverse than the national average, the proportion of people using a language other than English has more than doubled since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 9.8% of residents use another language at home, which is higher than most similar areas but well below the Western Australian figure of 18.4%. This shift is led by Tagalog speakers, who make up 3.8% of the population, while very few people (0.4%) struggle with English.
