Language in Casey
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 7.9% of people in Casey use a language other than English at home, making it far less linguistically diverse than most of the country. This represents a sharp shift for the area, as the proportion of non-English speakers has plummeted by 33 percentage points since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the dominant language for 88.4% of residents, while Mandarin and Italian are the most common other languages. Very few people struggle with English, with only 1.2% speaking little or no English—a figure well below both the Victorian and national averages.
