Language in Karana Downs
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 92.1% of people in Karana Downs. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the national average, though the number of people using other languages at home has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that very few people here—just 0.3%—speak little or no English.
