Mandurah · Sub-region (SA3)
Language in Mandurah
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 6.2% of people in Mandurah use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country. While the number of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2011, English remains the dominant language for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 87.6% of residents, with very few people using languages like Tagalog or Mandarin. This is reflected in the fact that only 0.5% of people speak little or no English, a figure that is much lower than most areas and has barely changed since 2016.
