Language in 500 or more
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 3.5% of people in 500 or more use a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most similar regions, with English serving as the primary language for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language spoken by 90.3% of residents. Very few people struggle with the language, as only 0.2% speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure of 3.4%.
