Alexandra · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Alexandra
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 90.6% of people in Alexandra. The area is far less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages, with very few residents speaking a language other than English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 3.4% of people use another language at home, a figure far below the 22.3% national average that has barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the fact that just 0.3% of residents speak little or no English, which is well below the Australian figure of 3.4%.
