Language in Nillumbik
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the main language for 87.7% of people in Nillumbik. While more people have started speaking other languages at home since 2011, the area remains far less linguistically diverse than the rest of Victoria and Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 9.6% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that very few people—just 0.8%—speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
