Language in Emerton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 30% of people in Emerton use a language other than English at home, which is well above the national figure. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse of its kind in the region. While 60.2% of residents speak only English, a variety of other languages are commonly heard across the neighbourhood.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 29.7% of residents use another language at home, a figure well above the New South Wales average. This diversity is reflected in the 4.5% who speak little or no English, which is among the highest for similar areas and slightly above the national rate. Tagalog, Arabic, and Hindi are the most common non-English languages spoken.
