Theodore · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Theodore
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of residents in Theodore now speak a language other than English at home, which rose to 12.8% by 2021. Despite this increase, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than the rest of the ACT and the wider nation.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 84.8% of people, and the proportion who speak another language is well below the national figure of 22.3%. Very few people struggle with English, with only 1.1% speaking little or no English, a figure that has barely changed since 2016.
