Language in Buxton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for daily life in Buxton, where 93.9% of people speak only English at home. This is a far more English-speaking area than the rest of New South Wales, with very few residents using other languages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.5% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that is far below the national average and has fallen since 2011. While 0.5% of residents speak little or no English, this is actually higher than in most similar areas.
