Language in Charleston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 2.2% of people in Charleston speak a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure and shows the area is much less linguistically diverse than most other places. The pattern has barely changed since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the only language used by 95.6% of residents. This helps explain why there are no people in the area who speak little or no English, a figure well below the Australian average of 3.4%.
