Language in Mid North Coast
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Among the lowest in the region for linguistic diversity, Mid North Coast is an area where 90% of people speak only English at home. Very few residents use a language other than English, though this figure has risen slightly over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.5% of people use another language at home, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6% and the national rate of 22.3%. This is reflected in the very low number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.4%.
