Language in North Willoughby
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About 33% of North Willoughby residents speak a language other than English at home, a figure far above the national average. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse for its size. Most of this diversity comes from a strong presence of Mandarin and Cantonese speakers.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 64.4% of the area speaks only English, the typical resident is more likely to use another language at home than people across Australia. This is consistent with 5.8% of the population speaking little or no English, which is a little above the national figure.
