Chisholm · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Chisholm
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for the vast majority of people in Chisholm, where 82.8% speak it exclusively. While more people have started using other languages at home since 2011, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than the rest of the territory.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 13.9% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is far below the ACT figure of 24.6%. Only 1.4% of people speak little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016 and sits a little below the national average.
