Language in Cowell
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language in Cowell (L), where only 1.4% of people use another language at home. This is much lower than most similar areas and far below the national figure. This trend has remained steady since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 88.9% of residents speak only English at home, which helps explain why no one in the area reports speaking little or no English. This is well below the Australian average of 3.4%.
