Mulgrave · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Mulgrave
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of all residents in Mulgrave speak a language other than English at home, a figure that is much higher than most other areas. This makes the suburb far more linguistically diverse than the typical Victorian or Australian community.

English and the largest community languages.
Around 51.3% of people use another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. While English is the most common language at 45.2%, others like Mandarin (8.8%) and Greek (7.3%) are widely spoken, and 7.2% of residents speak little or no English.
