Cooma · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Cooma
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 9.0% of people in Cooma use a language other than English at home, though this is a rise of 2.0 percentage points since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages. Most residents speak only English, and very few struggle with the language.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 82.7% of people speak only English, the proportion using another language at home is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This is reflected in the low number of people who speak little or no English, at just 1.0%, which is well below the state average.
