Language in Peterborough
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 94.4% of people in Peterborough (L). This is a very linguistically uniform area where only 2.8% of residents use another language at home, a figure far below the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
The proportion of people using other languages has fallen since 2011, and currently sits far below the Victorian figure. Notably, no one in the area reports speaking little or no English.
