Walcha · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Walcha
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Almost everyone in Walcha speaks English daily, creating a community with very little linguistic diversity. Only 1.8% of residents use another language at home, a figure that has barely changed over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 87.8% of the population, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6% for other languages. This is reflected in the very low 0.1% of people who speak little or no English, a result well below the national average.
