Lysterfield · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Lysterfield
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 80% of Lysterfield residents speak only English at home, making it much less linguistically diverse than the state average. While the use of other languages has risen slightly to 18.5% since 2011, this figure remains well below both the Victorian and national typicals.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the dominant language for 79.2% of the area, with Mandarin (3.4%), Greek (1.5%), and Italian (1.5%) being the next most common. Only 1.8% of people speak little or no English, a figure that is a little below the national average and has barely changed since 2016.
