Language in Bunbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 6.7% of people in Bunbury 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, although the number of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 86.8% of residents. Very few people struggle with English here, as only 0.7% speak little or no English, a figure that is much lower than most areas and has barely changed since 2016.
