Vermont · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Vermont
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A far higher share of people speak a language other than English at home in Vermont compared to the national figure. About 38.1% of residents use another language, a figure that has risen 16 points since 2011. This shift makes the area much more linguistically diverse than most similar places.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Mandarin is the most common non-English language at 13.9%, followed by Cantonese at 5.3%. While 5.8% of people speak little or no English, this is a little above the Victorian figure of 4.4% and has barely changed since 2016.
