Language in Pittwater
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for 87.1% of people in Pittwater, making it far less linguistically diverse than other parts of the state. Only 8.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using another language at home is far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%. This is consistent with the fact that very few people speak little or no English here, at just 0.7%, which is well below the state average.
