Language in Castle Hill
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A much higher proportion of people in Castle Hill speak a language other than English compared to the rest of the country. While 37.5% of residents use another language at home, this figure has fallen by 17 percentage points since 2011. This creates a linguistic profile that is far more diverse than the state and national averages.

Mandarin is the most common non-English language at 6.8%, followed by Hindi, Cantonese, and Arabic. Despite the high use of other languages, those who speak little or no English make up 4.3% of the population, which is about the same as the New South Wales figure.
