Language in Narooma
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Very few residents in Narooma have seen their home language options change since 2011, as the area remains overwhelmingly English-speaking. Just 3.8% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the town much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language used at home by 89.4% of people. While 0.4% of residents speak little or no English, which is higher than most similar areas, this is still well below the New South Wales figure of 4.5%.
