The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A vast gap separates postcode 5607 from the rest of the country, as only 1.8% of people here use a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3% and shows the area is much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia. This pattern has remained steady for over a decade.
