Language in Goulburn
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 87.9% of people in Goulburn. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages, though the number of people using other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 5.2% of residents speak a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the very low number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.6%.
