Language in Bouvard
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Very few people in Bouvard have shifted their home language patterns since 2011, as the area remains overwhelmingly English-speaking. Around 92% of residents use only English at home, meaning it is far less linguistically diverse than the state or national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 5.1% of people use another language at home—which is higher than in most similar areas—this is still far below the Western Australian figure of 18.4%. Only 0.3% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the 3.4% national average.
