Language in Parkes
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 3.9% of people in Parkes use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes it one of the most linguistically uniform areas in the region, where English is the dominant tongue for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 89.6% of the community, and the proportion of people who speak little or no English is well below the national figure at just 0.4%. While the number of people using another language at home rose slightly since 2011, it remains far below the New South Wales average.
