Language in 5,000 to 9,999
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 2.4% of people in 5,000 to 9,999 use a language other than English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Australia. English is the dominant language spoken across the region.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 91.7% of residents, while only 0.2% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure of 3.4%. While the proportion of people using another language at home rose slightly since 2011, it remains among the lowest for similar areas.
