Cleveland · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Cleveland
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 87.8% of people in Cleveland, making it far less linguistically diverse than the national average. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, the area remains much more homogenous than most other parts of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 8.8% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This low diversity is reflected in the fact that only 1.0% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
