Phillip · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Phillip
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of people in Phillip speak only English at home, but the area is far more linguistically diverse than most other regions. About 39.5% of residents use a language other than English, a figure that has risen since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Nearly 40% of the community speaks another language at home, which is far above the ACT and national figures. While Mandarin, Tagalog and Cantonese are the most common non-English languages, the proportion of people who speak little or no English has fallen to 3.3%.
