Richmond · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Richmond
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A small drop in the number of people using other languages at home hasn't stopped Richmond from remaining a linguistically diverse area. Over a third of residents speak a language other than English, which is far above the national figure.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 33.4% of people use a language other than English at home, which is much higher than most areas. While 63.2% speak only English, others speak Greek (9.2%), Mandarin (2.8%), Italian (2.5%) or Punjabi (2.4%), and 5% of residents speak little or no English.
