Language in Charlestown
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for the vast majority of people in Charlestown, where only 6.3% of residents speak another language at home. This makes it a place with very little linguistic diversity compared to other Australian areas, though the number of people using other languages has risen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
With 90.2% of people speaking only English, the proportion of residents using another language is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. Only 0.7% of people speak little or no English, a figure that is lower than most areas and has barely changed since 2016.
