Foster · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Foster
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Just 3.8% of people in Foster use a language other than English at home. This is far below the national figure and makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other places. These levels have remained steady over the last decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 88.4% of residents, and the proportion who speak little or no English is very low at 0.3%. This is well below the figures for both Victoria and Australia.
