Gowrie · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A huge gap exists between Gowrie and the rest of the country, with only 1.9% of people using a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, reflecting a community where English is the overwhelming primary language.
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 94.7% of residents, and the number of people using other languages has barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the very low 0.2% of people who speak little or no English, which is well below the 3.4% national average.
