Language in Paterson
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 1.9% of people in Paterson use a language other than English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the country. This low figure is reflected in the fact that the vast majority of residents speak only English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language spoken by 89.8% of the population. The proportion of people using another language is far below the national figure of 22.3%, and there are no residents who speak little or no English.
