Language in 10,000 to 19,999
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 5.9% of people in 10,000 to 19,999 use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most similar regions, though the proportion of non-English speakers has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 87.3% of residents, and those who speak little or no English make up just 0.6% of the population. This figure is lower than most areas and has barely changed since 2016.
