Language in Wyndham Harbour
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A huge shift in diversity has hit Wyndham Harbour, where the share of people using a language other than English at home jumped from 1.3% in 2016 to 24.8% in 2021. This rapid change means nearly a quarter of the population now speaks another language, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas at this level.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 64.1% of residents speak only English, others use Hindi, Mandarin, or Vietnamese. This diversity is reflected in the 2.4% who speak little or no English, a figure that is among the highest for similar areas.
