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

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While Tagalog is the most common non-English language at 3.1%, only 2.3% of people speak little or no English. This rate is about the same as the Western Australian figure, despite the area having a much higher proportion of bilingual speakers than most places.
