Point Nepean · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Point Nepean
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 6.4% of people in Point Nepean use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes it one of the least linguistically diverse areas in the region, a trend that has remained steady for a decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the primary language for 85.5% of residents, meaning far fewer people speak a foreign language here than in the rest of Victoria. This is reflected in the very low 0.6% of people who speak little or no English, a figure well below the state average.
