Maitland · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Maitland
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for daily life in Maitland, where 90.2% of residents speak only English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state, although the number of people using other languages has risen slightly over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.8% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This trend is reflected in the low number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.7%.
