Language in 4,999 or less
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly two thirds of people in 4,999 or less speak a language other than English at home, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas of its kind. This high level of diversity means that for many residents, English is not the primary language used in daily life.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 65.2% of people use another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This reflects a growing trend, as the figure rose 5.8 points since 2011, while 10.8% of residents speak little or no English.
