Hawker · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Hawker
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the main language for 78.4% of people in Hawker. While more residents now speak a language other than English than in 2011, the area remains less linguistically diverse than the rest of the territory.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 18.2% of people use another language at home, which is higher than most similar areas but well below the ACT's 24.6%. Meanwhile, the 1.9% who speak little or no English is a little below the national figure and has barely changed since 2016.
