Language in Tablelands
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Far fewer people use a language other than English at home in Tablelands compared to most other areas. Only 7.2% of residents speak another language, a figure that is far below the national average and has fallen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 64.4% of the population, while Italian is the most common second language at 2.2%. This lack of linguistic diversity is reflected in the fact that only 0.7% of people speak little or no English, which is lower than most areas.
