Language in 4,999 or less
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 8.2% of people in 4,999 or less use a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%, though the proportion has risen slightly since 2011. English remains the dominant language across this sparsely populated area.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 80.7% of residents, with small numbers speaking Tagalog, Italian or Mandarin. Very few people struggle with English, as only 1.1% speak little or no English, which is a little below the national figure.
