Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 71.2% of residents, while Tagalog is spoken by 5.3%. Very few people struggle with English, with only 0.7% speaking little or no English, a figure that is much higher than most similar areas but still a little below the state and national averages.
