Language in Busselton
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While English is used by 89.5% of the population, the number of people speaking another language rose 1.6 percentage points since 2011. This 5.3% is higher than most similar areas, though it remains far below the Western Australian figure of 18.4%. Only 0.6% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
