Language in Dunwich
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A tiny 2.8% of people in Dunwich speak a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most of Australia. English is the primary language for the vast majority of the population.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is used exclusively by 87% of residents, and the proportion of people using another language has fallen since 2011. While very few people speak little or no English (0.5%), this is actually higher than in most similar areas.
