Language in Proston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 2.8% of people in Proston spoke a language other than English at home in 2021, a figure that has fallen since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 86.8% of residents. Very few people use another language at home, which is far below the Australian figure of 22.3%, and no one in the area reported speaking little or no English.
