Language in 6029, WA
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for nearly 90% of people in postcode 6029. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Western Australia and the nation, with very few residents needing English language support.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.5% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average of 22.3%. This low level of diversity is reflected in the fact that just 0.3% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the Australian figure of 3.4%.
