Language in Woolmar
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 30% of people in Woolmar use a language other than English at home, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas of its kind. This variety is most visible in the high proportion of residents who speak Tagalog, which helps explain why the area is far above the state and national figures for non-English speakers.

English and the largest community languages.
About 29.4% of residents speak another language at home, a figure well above the Australian average of 22.3%. While 64.4% speak only English and 8.5% speak Tagalog, only 2.1% of the community speak little or no English.
