Language in Walloon
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About the same as most similar areas, Walloon is a place where English is the dominant language spoken. Only 4% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 90.9% of the population, while other languages like Mandarin, Punjabi, and Hindi are rare. This represents a sharp drop from 2011, when 16.1% of people used another language at home. Meanwhile, those who speak little or no English make up just 0.2% of the area, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
