Montrose · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Montrose
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for almost everyone in Montrose, where only 4.9% of people use a language other than English at home. This is far below the figures for Victoria and Australia, reflecting a community with very little linguistic diversity.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 92.2% of residents speak only English, and the 0.5% who speak little or no English is lower than most areas. This trend has barely changed since 2011, and the small number of non-English speakers include those using Greek, Italian, Mandarin and Cantonese.
