Language in Flinders
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 5.3% of people in Flinders use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country. The proportion of residents speaking other languages has barely changed over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 89.0% of residents. Very few people struggle with English here, as only 0.5% speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the Victorian average.
