Language in Albany
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for the vast majority of people in Albany, where only 6.4% use another tongue at home. This means daily life is very linguistically uniform compared to the rest of the state. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, the area remains far less diverse than most of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.4% of residents speak a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This high level of English use is reflected in the fact that very few people—just 0.7%—speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
