Language in Pottsville
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Pottsville, where a tiny 3.9% of people use another language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of New South Wales and Australia. While the number of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2011, English remains the primary way of communicating for almost everyone here.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.9% of residents speak a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average of 22.3%. Most people speak only English, and very few—just 0.3%—speak little or no English, which is well below the state figure.
