Language in 5,000 to 9,999
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 5.0% of people in 5,000 to 9,999 use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This area is much less linguistically diverse than most similar places, though the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 90.5% of residents, and only 1.0% of people speak little or no English. This is a little below the Australian average, and the figure has barely changed since 2016.
