Language in Woollahra
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for daily life in Woollahra, where only 14.9% of people use a language other than English at home. This is well below the national figure of 22.3%, though the proportion of non-English speakers has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
