Language in Ardrossan
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A huge gap exists between Ardrossan and the rest of the country, with only 1.9% of people using a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure of 22.3%. Most residents here speak English only, making it one of the most linguistically uniform areas in the region.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 90.2% of residents, and the proportion of people using another language has fallen 5 percentage points since 2011. This explains why no one in the area reported speaking little or no English, a figure well below the Australian average of 3.4%.
