Greenfields · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Greenfields
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for almost everyone living in Greenfields, where only 5.8% of people use another language at home. This is far below the figures for both Western Australia and the rest of the country. While the use of other languages has risen slightly since 2011, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than most other places.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 87.4% of residents speak only English, and the number of people who speak little or no English is very low at 0.5%. This figure is a little below the state and national averages and has barely changed since 2016. Other languages spoken in small numbers include Tagalog, Italian, Mandarin, and Punjabi.
