Drouin · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Drouin
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for nearly everyone in Drouin, where only 4.6% of people use another language at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, it remains a very small part of the local community.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 90% of residents speak only English, which is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. Very few people struggle with the local tongue, with only 0.5% speaking little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
