Language in Forth
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of people in Forth (L) now use a language other than English at home, with the figure rising to 4.3% since 2011. This remains a very English-speaking area, though the slight increase reflects a small shift in the local linguistic mix.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.3% of residents speak another language at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English, a result well below the Australian average of 3.4%.
