The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 85.2% of people in 5,000 to 9,999. This area is far less linguistically diverse than the national average, with very few residents speaking a language other than English at home.

Only 6.6% of residents use another language at home, which is much lower than the national figure of 22.3%. This has barely changed since 2011, and just 0.8% of people speak little or no English.
