Esperance · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Esperance
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 4.3% of people in Esperance use a language other than English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Australia, though the proportion of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2016.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the sole language for 85.3% of residents, and the 4.3% who speak another language is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the very small number of people who speak little or no English, at only 0.4%.
