Adolescents and young adults exceed this average, while children and the elderly are below.

The use of Luxembourgish by immigrants increases with the duration of their stay. In rural regions, especially in the north of the country, where the rate of foreigners is relatively low, the percentage of the resident population using Luxembourgish generally exceeds 80% (Consthum 94.8%).
