Language in East Kempsey
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant tongue in East Kempsey, where very few people speak a different language at home. Only 3.3% of residents use another language, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most parts of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 90.3% of people speak only English at home. While 0.2% of residents speak little or no English—a figure higher than most similar areas—this is still well below the New South Wales average of 4.5%.
