Language in Seventeen Seventy
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language spoken in Seventeen Seventy (L), where 81.6% of people use it as their only language at home. This reflects a significant shift for the area, as the proportion of people using a language other than English has fallen sharply over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 4.8% of residents speak another language at home—which is higher than in most similar areas—this is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This reflects a major trend, as the number of people using other languages fell from 78.8% in 2011 to 4.8% in 2021, and no one now reports speaking little or no English.
