The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 88.9% of residents, which is far below the 22.3% national figure for those using another language. While only 0.4% of people speak little or no English, this is actually higher than the rate seen in most similar areas.
