Language in Kiama
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for nearly 90% of people in Kiama. This high level of English use is reflected in the very small number of residents who speak another language at home, which is far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has fallen 53 points since 2011. This is much lower than most areas, and consistent with this, only 0.5% of people speak little or no English.
