Cessnock Surrounds · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 92.7% of people in Cessnock Surrounds. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state or the country. Only 2% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed over the last decade.
English and the largest community languages.
Just 2.0% of people here use another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This lack of diversity is reflected in the very low number of people who speak little or no English, at only 0.2%.
