Language in Other Urban
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 6.5% of people in Other Urban speak a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most similar regions. While this figure has risen since 2011, English remains the dominant language spoken here.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 88.5% of the population, and very few people struggle with the language, with only 0.8% speaking little or no English. This is a little below the Australian average and has remained steady since 2016.
