The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.3% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English, a result well below the 3.4% average for Australia.
