Language in Calga
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far lower share of people use a language other than English at home in Calga compared to the rest of the country. Only 2.2% of residents speak another language, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other places in Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language spoken at home for 88.1% of residents. This explains why the 2.2% who use another language is so much lower than the New South Wales figure of 26.6%, and why there are no residents who speak little or no English.
