Language in Glenelg
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Much lower language diversity than most similar areas defines Glenelg, where nearly everyone speaks English. Only 2.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is used by 90.2% of the population. This is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%, and it is consistent with the fact that only 0.2% of people here speak little or no English.
