Language in Arcadia
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 88.1% of people in Arcadia, making it the dominant tongue in the area. While most residents speak English, a small number use other languages at home, though this remains far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 7.9% of people use a language other than English at home, which is higher than most similar areas but far below the New South Wales average of 26.6%. This is reflected in the small number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.5%.
