Language in Rushworth
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant way of communicating in Rushworth, where very few people use another language at home. Only 4.4% of residents speak a language other than English, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most people here speak only English, though the share of those using another language rose to 4.4% since 2011. Just 1.3% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the Victorian average.
