Language in Morley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than one third of people in Morley use a language other than English at home, a figure far above the national average. This linguistic diversity has grown over the last decade and is much higher than in most other similar areas.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 35.7% of residents use another language at home, which is far above the Western Australian figure of 18.4%. This is reflected in the 6.5% of people who speak little or no English, a rate well above the national figure. While English is the main language for 60% of the area, Vietnamese (5.2%), Mandarin (4.1%), and Italian (3.3%) are also common.
