Language in Yarralumla
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 79.3% of residents in Yarralumla. While most people speak only English, the number of households using another language has risen to 17.0% since 2011. This is a modest increase, though it remains well below the typical figures for the ACT and the rest of Australia.

English and the largest community languages.
The 17.0% of residents using another language at home is well below the ACT's 24.6%, with Mandarin, Italian and Hindi being the most common non-English tongues. Very few people struggle with the local language, as only 1.0% speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
