The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly half of all residents in postcode 2077 use a language other than English at home. This makes the area far more linguistically diverse than the rest of New South Wales and Australia. The proportion of people speaking a non-English language has climbed steadily over the last decade.
English and the largest community languages.
About 47.8% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. While English is the most common at 48.5%, Mandarin is widely spoken by 12.5% of residents. This high diversity is mirrored in the 7.4% who speak little or no English, a figure well above the Australian average.
