Language in 2549, NSW
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 2.1% of people in postcode 2549 use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia. The same level of consistency has remained for over a decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 92.8% of residents, and the number of people who speak little or no English is well below the national figure at only 0.1%. This lack of linguistic variety is consistent with the trend since 2011, when the share of people using another language at home was slightly higher at 2.4%.
