Language in 20,000 to 49,999
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 83.7% of people in 20,000 to 49,999. While the area is much less linguistically diverse than the national average, the proportion of people using another language at home has risen slightly to 8.3%. This shift reflects a gradual increase in the variety of languages spoken across the region.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 8.3% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%. This is a modest increase since 2011, while the 0.8% who speak little or no English has barely changed since 2016.
