Language in Bathurst
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 87.1% of people in Bathurst. This is a very high proportion compared to the rest of the country, making the area much less linguistically diverse than most other regions.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.4% of residents use another language at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This trend has risen slightly since 2011, though the number of people who speak little or no English remains very low at 0.6%.
