Language in Horsley
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Daily life in Horsley is mostly English-speaking, though 12% of people use another language at home. This is much higher than in most similar areas, but it remains far below the figures for both New South Wales and Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 85.8% of people speak only English, the small number of residents using other languages is much higher than in most similar areas. This is consistent with the 1.3% who speak little or no English, a figure that is also much higher than most similar areas but still well below the New South Wales average.
