Our Changing City: Cultural and linguistic diversity in Greater Western Sydney Written by Dr Olivia Hamilton Acknowledgment of Country / Statement of Commitment We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which Western Sydney covers, the Dharug people of the Dharug Nation, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that Dharug people were the first people of the Western Sydney area and have strived to retain their culture, identity and special connection with country for more than two centuries of non-aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander settlement. We recognise the valuable contribution made by Dharug people to the local community in working towards a future of mutual harmony and respect. 1 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on the cultural and linguistic diversity of Greater Western Sydney. Multiple Census questions need to be examined in order to build up a picture of the cultural and linguistic diversity of an area. Question 7 will show the person s Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander status; question 8 will tell us if the person is visiting Australia temporarily; and questions 11 through to 19 will provide information on the person s citizenship status, country of birth, year of arrival in Australia, ancestry, language spoken, and religion. Question 23 may also be useful as it could reveal whether or not a person requires assistance with communicating due to difficulty with the English language. 1 The 2016 Census reveals a number of interesting changes to the cultural and linguistic diversity of Greater Western Sydney [GWS]. Migration from India, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines has continued, while migration from European countries seems to have declined. European communities are still present in significant percentages, but are more likely to be second or third generation Australian. This affects the languages other than English that are most likely to be spoken at home, with research from Macquarie University 2 showing that those languages most likely to be retained across the generations are Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Greek, while other European languages especially are likely to be lost within a generation following migration. As expected, when looking at cultural and linguistic diversity, there are variations across the GWS LGAs. Areas like Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, and Wollondilly show less cultural diversity than LGAs like Blacktown, Fairfield, Liverpool or Parramatta, for example. Additionally, we can see some differences between the LGAs that make up GWS, and between GWS and the rest of Sydney [ROS], the Greater Sydney Area [GSA], and NSW. Cultural diversity is not limited to GWS: some LGAs such as City of Sydney, Ryde, and Willoughby (amongst others) also show high cultural diversity. For example, we can see that in these LGAs, a high percentage of the population was born overseas, with China the most common country of birth other than Australia (City of Sydney: 39.4% born in Australia, 9.7% born in China; Ryde: 48.5% born in Australia, 12.5% born in China; Willoughby: 49.4% born in Australia, 10.6% born in China). The Indigenous population of Sydney is concentrated in GWS, in Blacktown, Camden, Campbelltown, Penrith, and Wollondilly, with concentrations also in the Central Coast, City of Sydney, and Randwick. The much-reported rise in people who do not identify with any religious belief is not as significant in GWS as it was in the rest of Sydney, with only 17.6% of people in GWS saying they had no religion, compared to 31% for ROS, 24.6% for GSA, and 25% for NSW. Indigenous populations and religious diversity in GWS will both be explored further in separate topic papers. 3 1 A sample of the 2016 Census questionnaire can be viewed at http://abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/lookup/2901.0main%20features802016/$file/2016%20census%20sam ple%20household%20form.pdf. 2 See https://www.multilingualsydney.org/ for information on the current projects and forthcoming book of the multilingual Sydney research group. 3 Available for download at http://www.westir.org.au/new/index.php/census. 4 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
This paper presents an analysis of the CALD data, including an overview of Greater Western Sydney compared to the Rest of Sydney and the Greater Sydney region. 4 Further details are also discussed for each LGA in GWS. The discussion is organised under the following headings: 1. Country of Birth 2. Year of Arrival 3. Ancestry 4. Citizenship 5. Language spoken at home and English proficiency Where relevant, the numbers and percentages of people who did not answer a question have been included. Some questions on cultural diversity, and some geographical regions, may have nonresponse rates of over 10%. In other instances, e.g. ancestry, although the non-response rate is relatively low, it is still the second or third highest group of responses. REGIONS GWS is made up of the following 13 local government areas (LGAs): Blacktown Blue Mountains Camden Campbelltown Canterbury Bankstown Cumberland Fairfield Hawkesbury Liverpool Parramatta Penrith The Hills Shire Wollondilly This paper also covers two additional LGAs, Lithgow and Wingecarribee, which are not included in GWS totals but are included in the paper because they complete the FACS Western Sydney (FACS WS) and South West Sydney (FACS SWS) districts. GWS is compared with data for GSA, ROS, FACS WS, FACS SWS and New South Wales (NSW): GSA and NSW are compiled from ABS boundaries. Rest of Sydney is calculated by subtracting the totals of Greater Sydney with the totals of GWS. FACS Western Sydney (FACS WS) is made up of Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Cumberland, Hawkesbury, Lithgow, Parramatta, Penrith and The Hills Shire LGAs. 4 For a discussion of CALD data at the national level, see the ABS article, Cultural Diversity in Australia, 2016 (28/6/17), http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/lookup/by%20subject/2071.0~2016~main%20features~cultural% 20Diversity%20Article~20 5 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
FACS South Western Sydney (FACS SWS) is made up of Camden, Campbelltown, Canterbury Bankstown, Fairfield, Liverpool, Wingecarribee and Wollondilly LGAs. All data presented is based on place of usual residence, unless otherwise stated.

Country of Birth The diversity of GWS can be seen in the higher percentage of people who were born elsewhere, and by association the lower percentage born in Australia, compared to RS and GSA. As might be expected, the capital city shows more diversity in country of birth compared to NSW as a whole. The diversity within the region of GWS is further highlighted by the fact that there are some LGAs where more than 50% of the population were born elsewhere, while other LGAs show that about 80% of the population was born in Australia (see Charts 1 and 2 on page 11 for more detail). The top five countries of birth other than Australia for the GWS population in 2016 were India (3.92%); China (3.44%); Vietnam (2.86%); Philippines (2.23%); and Lebanon (1.94%). Persons born in Australia still made up the majority of the GWS population (55.49%). This contrasted with ROS, GSA and NSW, where a higher proportion of the population was born in Australia (ROS: Australia 58.48%; GSA: Australia 57.05%; NSW: Australia 65.49%). The top five countries of birth other than Australia were, respectively: ROS (China 5.77%; England 4.34%; New Zealand 1.91%; India 1.6%; Korea 1.12%), GSA (China 4.66%; England 3.14%; India 2.71%; New Zealand 1.79%; Vietnam 1.68%), and NSW (China 3.14%; England 3.03%; India 1.92%; New Zealand 1.57%; Philippines 1.16%). For further details, see Tables 1 and 2 (pages 16, 17). The maps produced show the concentrations, as a percentage of the population, of people born in the GWS top 5 countries of birth other than Australia (excluding non-responses). From these maps, we can see that there is a spread of people from these countries across the city, with concentrations in some areas. The Indian-born population of Sydney, for example, is concentrated around Harris Park and other parts of Parramatta LGA, while the Vietnamese-born population is mostly concentrated in Fairfield LGA, with another concentration in Canterbury-Bankstown. See Maps 1-5, (pages 36-40). Year of Arrival In GWS, LGAs like Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, The Hills Shire, and Wollondilly have an overseasborn population that has been resident in Australia for a longer period of time than the overseasborn population in areas like Blacktown, Canterbury-Bankstown, Fairfield and Parramatta. Chart 3 on page 12 shows the percentage of the overseas-born population by year of arrival, for each of the thirteen GWS LGAs. We can also see concentrations of newer arrivals on maps 6 and 7, pages 41-42, which map the areas where newer arrivals tend to live. Map 6 shows where those who arrived between 2011 and 2015 were living on Census night, while map 7 shows where those who arrived between 1 January and 9 August 2016 were living. Although Blacktown LGA had the highest overall number of people born overseas, Parramatta and Cumberland LGAs saw the highest numbers of newest arrivals, with that trend looking to continue based on the number of new arrivals in the first half of 2016. 7 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
Ancestry The responses to the question on ancestry reveal a greater concentration of people with ancestries other than English (20.4%) or Australian (14.9%) in GWS, compared to the figures for ROS (English: 29.5%; Australian: 16.1%) and NSW (English: 30.6%; Australian: 20.3%). The top ancestry in GWS, ROS, and GSA was English, followed by Australian and Chinese. However, for GWS, the fourth top ancestry was Indian, followed by Lebanese and Vietnamese, compared to Irish, Italian and Scottish for ROS and Irish, Indian and Italian for GSA. See Table 4 on page 19 for more detail. Table 5 (page 20) similarly reveals varied ancestry responses across the GWS LGAs, with the Blue Mountains, Camden, Hawkesbury, Penrith and Wollondilly showing much higher percentages of people claiming Australian and/or English ancestry than in Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Fairfield, Liverpool or Parramatta. Since this table was created using the Ancestry Multi-Response data, we can also see the percentage of people in each LGA claiming to have more than one ancestry. Perhaps counter-intuitively, those LGAs with the highest percentage of people claiming more than one ancestry are also those where more people had claimed Australian and/or English ancestry. One possible explanation is that people born overseas in these areas were more likely to have arrived prior to the 1980s (see Chart 3 on page 12), leading to more opportunities for the formation of families with multiple ancestries than has so far been possible for newer migrant groups. Another possibility is that Anglo-Australians may be including a second ancestry response if they know which part of the UK their family originally came from, e.g. saying they are both Australian and English. However, further research would need to be done to fully understand this aspect of the ancestry data. Responses to the question on ancestry can also reveal interesting aspects of how people identify (see charts 4 and 5 on pages 13 and 14). Of those who were born in Australia but had one or both parents born overseas, a higher percentage is now responding with Australian as their ancestry than in the 2006 or 2011 Censuses. This indicates that there has been an increase in identification with Australia amongst the descendants of migrants. However, when looking further into the detail of this data, we can see some differences emerging. We note, for example, that there are more people claiming Australian ancestry with both parents born overseas in GWS, compared to ROS. We also note that those whose mother only was born overseas are less likely to identify as having Australian ancestry than those whose father only was born overseas. This suggests that, for children of migrants in Australia, there may be a stronger affiliation with the mother s ancestry than with the father s. Further analysis would be required to understand exactly what is going on here. Citizenship Most residents of GSA (79.5%) have Australian citizenship, with the percentage varying across LGAs. Interestingly, and perhaps contrary to the perception of GWS as an area with a high migrant population, a higher percentage of GWS residents had Australian citizenship than those in ROS (81% compared to 78.1%). See table 7 on page 23 for further information. These differences between GWS and ROS indicate that the percentage totals have been influenced by LGAs like Sydney City, in which only 55.9% of residents are Australian citizens. This may be explained by population mobility, and the likelihood that Sydney City residents have arrived in the country more recently, however data on population mobility is not released until October, so comparisons across the city cannot yet be made. 8 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
We can see some trends emerging when we look at citizenship data cross-tabbed with country of birth of person. Of those born in Australia, the majority hold Australian citizenship. Of those born elsewhere, a significant proportion across all LGAs in GWS do not hold Australian citizenship (see Tables 8 and 9 on pages 24 and 25 for more detail). Interestingly, residents who were born in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Timor-Leste, El Salvador and Greece are far more likely to take out Australian citizenship than those born in Mongolia, Japan, Niue, Tokelau or Nepal (see Tables 10 and 11, pages 26-27). This may reflect the different citizenship laws of people s COBs, e.g. whether they can hold dual citizenship; their intention to return to their COB in the future; or the ease with which people can obtain a visa to remain in Australia, e.g. visa pathways to residency and citizenship, or the historical residency agreement with New Zealand. Language spoken at home and English proficiency When looking at the language spoken at home, we can see that the proportion of people who speak a language other than English has increased since the 2006 Census. In GWS, in 2016, only 51% of the population spoke only English at home, compared to 65.2% in ROS, 58.4% in GSA, or 68.6% of the NSW population. See Tables 12-17, on pages 28-33, for more detail of the changes from 2006 to 2016. Looking at the most common languages spoken at home, there were differences between GWS, ROS, GSA and NSW. 6.8% of the GWS population spoke Arabic at home compared to 1.3% of the rest of Sydney. The third most spoken language in GWS, Vietnamese, spoken by 3.6% of the population, did not make the top ten for the rest of Sydney. The fourth most spoken language in GWS, Mandarin, was spoken by 3.4% of the population, compared to 6% of the population of the rest of Sydney. See Table 18, page 34. In Map 8 (page 43), we can see the distribution across Sydney of those who speak a language other than English at home, as a percentage of the population. Some areas in Sydney have high percentages of people who speak other languages, some up to 100%. While there is an obvious concentration across GWS, there are also hotspots of other language speakers in southern and northern Sydney. Census data on language proficiency shows that residents of GWS are more likely to be fluent in more than one language than residents of ROS, just as residents of GSA are more likely to speak more than one language than residents of NSW as a whole. The majority of those who speak a language other than English rate themselves as being able to speak English either Very Well or Well. Only 2.1% of GWS residents, 1.1% of ROS residents, 1.5% of GSA residents, and 1.1% of NSW residents say that they speak another language and do not speak English at all (see Table 19, page 35). Chart 6, page 15, also shows English proficiency in GWS, ROS, GSA and NSW. 9 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
Further information There is much more that could be discussed regarding the cultural and linguistic diversity of GWS. For example, year of arrival by country of birth data may reveal changing migration patterns, as it would show the countries of birth of newer migrants compared to those who arrived in the post- World War II migration boom. Year of arrival data could also be combined with data on the language spoken at home and English proficiency, to better understand whether English proficiency increases the longer someone has lived in Australia. It would also be interesting to examine the language spoken at home and ancestry, to see whether languages are being maintained across the generations. This paper has only presented information on the top countries of birth, ancestries, and languages spoken, and has not presented information on those with smaller populations, which would include many of the countries from which refugees are arriving. Since those on humanitarian visas are likely to require more services than those who arrive here on independent work visas, community organisations working in GWS may be interested in learning more about these populations. If any readers are interested in learning more about cultural and linguistic diversity in GWS, they are invited to contact researchers at WESTIR Ltd with a specific request. 10 P a g e OUR CHANGING CITY: CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
