Hawkesbury · Sub-region (SA3)
Language in Hawkesbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 5.0% of people in Hawkesbury use a language other than English at home, making it one of the most linguistically uniform areas in the region. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, though the proportion of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the sole language for 91.5% of residents, which helps explain why the 0.5% who speak little or no English is much lower than most areas. Other spoken languages include Italian, Cantonese, Mandarin and Arabic, though each is used by less than 1% of the population.
