Torquay · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Torquay
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 4.6% of people in Torquay used a language other than English at home in 2021, a figure that has barely changed since 2011. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than both Victoria and the rest of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 91% of residents, while only 0.3% of people speak little or no English, which is well below the national figure. This lack of diversity is consistent across the board, with the percentage of people using another language at home sitting far below the Victorian average.
