Language in Port Macquarie
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is spoken by 91.3% of people at home in Port Macquarie, making it a very linguistically uniform area. While more people have started using other languages since 2011, the proportion of residents who speak a language other than English remains far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.0% of residents use another language at home, which is much lower than most areas and far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This is consistent with the fact that very few people—just 0.4%—speak little or no English.
