Language in 10,000 to 19,999
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 5.7% of people in 10,000 to 19,999 use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the Australian average. English is the dominant language spoken here, with very few residents needing language support.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 87.8% of residents, and the 5.7% who use another tongue is far below the national figure of 22.3%. Consistent with this, only 0.7% of people speak little or no English, which is a little below the Australian average.
