Language in Jervis Bay
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 4.2% of people in Jervis Bay speak a language other than English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Australia, with English used by the vast majority of residents in their daily lives.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 64.5% of the population, and the 4.2% who use another language is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This lack of diversity is reflected in the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English.
