Language in Dilston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A small increase in diversity defines Dilston (L), where the proportion of people using another language at home rose by 5.1 percentage points since 2011. While more residents now speak a non-English language, the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the national average.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is used by 92.7% of the population, and the 5.1% who speak another language at home is much higher than in most similar areas. Despite this, the figure is far below the Australian average, and no one in the area speaks little or no English.
