Frankston · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Frankston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Frankston, where 80.5% of people speak only this language at home. This creates a community that is far less linguistically diverse than the state average, with very few residents needing language support for daily life.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 12.5% of people use another language at home, a figure well below the national average of 22.3% and barely changed since 2011. This is reflected in the low number of people who speak little or no English, which at 1.7% is a little below both state and national figures.
