Language in Casuarina
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than a third of people in Casuarina now speak a language other than English at home, a figure that rose by 6.2 percentage points since 2011. This makes the area far more linguistically diverse than the national average. While many residents use different languages, very few struggle with English in their daily lives.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 35.6% of residents use another language at home, which is well above the Northern Territory figure and far above the Australian average. While Greek (4.9%) and Mandarin (3.6%) are common, only 3.5% of people speak little or no English, a rate that has barely changed since 2016.
