English and the largest community languages.
About 52.3% of residents speak another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This diversity is reflected in the use of Arabic (15.9%), Greek (8.7%), Mandarin (5.8%), and Cantonese (4.4%), and it helps explain why 9.0% of people speak little or no English.
