Virginia · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Virginia
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 82.8% of people in Virginia. This high proportion means the area has far fewer people using other languages at home compared to both the territory and the rest of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 7.5% of residents speak another language at home, a figure far below the Northern Territory average. This is reflected in the very small number of people who speak little or no English, at just 0.6%.
