Language in Leith
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language in Leith, where 92.5% of residents speak only English at home. This is far below the national figure for people using other languages, making it a very linguistically uniform area.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.8% of people use another language at home, which is well below the Tasmania average. Despite this, the area has a higher proportion of people who speak little or no English than most similar areas, although this is still well below the national figure.
