Language in Oldbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English has remained the dominant language in Oldbury, though a small number of residents now speak other tongues at home. While 8.1% of people use a language other than English, this is far below the national figure of 22.3%.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is used by 83.8% of residents, with Italian being the next most common language at 2%. This explains why Oldbury has a much lower proportion of people speaking another language at home compared to Western Australia's 18.4%.
