Language in Macarthur
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way people communicate in Macarthur, where 93.6% of residents speak only this language at home. Very few people here use another language, making it much less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.

English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.3% of people use another language at home, which is far below the 27.6% figure for Victoria. While this is around the middle for similar areas, those who speak little or no English make up a much higher proportion than in most other areas at 0.9%.
