Language in York
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for almost everyone in York. Only 3.1% of people use another language at home, meaning there is very little linguistic diversity compared to the rest of the state.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
With 88.7% of the population speaking only English, the proportion of people using another language at home is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the fact that just 0.1% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the Australian average.
