Holt · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Holt
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 20% of people in Holt now use a language other than English at home, a figure that has risen by 6.9 percentage points since 2011. This shift makes the area more linguistically diverse than most similar places, although it remains less diverse than the wider ACT and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 76.9% of residents speak only English, others use Punjabi, Mandarin, Arabic, or Vietnamese. About 2.6% of people speak little or no English, which is a figure that has barely changed since 2016 and is about the same as the national average.
