Language in Goulburn
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 85.5% of people in Goulburn. While this means the area is far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average, a slightly higher share of residents speak another language at home compared to most similar areas.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Around 6.7% of people use a language other than English at home, though this is still far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. Only 0.9% speak little or no English, which is a little below the national figure of 3.4%.
