Language in Pioneer Valley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the overwhelming primary language for daily life in Pioneer Valley, where only 1.5% of people speak another language at home. This is far below the national figure and shows the area is much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Very few residents speak a language other than English at home, and the number of people who speak little or no English is among the lowest in the region at just 0.1%. English is used by 86.6% of the population, a trend that has barely changed since 2011.
