Language in Manilla
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 1.5% of people in Manilla use a language other than English at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the rest of the state and country. English is the primary way of communicating for the vast majority of the community.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 90.1% of residents speak only English, which is far below the national figure of 22.3% for other languages. This trend has barely changed since 2011, and very few people—just 0.4%—report speaking little or no English.
