Language in Howard
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Almost everyone in Howard speaks English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than other parts of the country. With 95% of people using only English, the area has one of the lowest proportions of non-English speakers across the region.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 2.1% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This lack of diversity is reflected in the fact that just 0.4% of residents speak little or no English.
