Language in Amata
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A huge majority of people in Amata use a language other than English in their daily lives. This is a striking shift for the area, where the proportion of people speaking another language at home rose by 87 percentage points since 2011 to reach 87.3%. Only 12% of residents speak only English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
At 87.3%, the use of other languages is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This is reflected in the 13.5% of people who speak little or no English, which is much higher than the 3.4% seen across Australia.
