Language in Keilor
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly one in three people in Keilor use a language other than English at home, making it much more linguistically diverse than most areas. While this is well above the national figure, the proportion of residents speaking another language has fallen slightly since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 66.1% of the area, though Italian (7.7%) and Greek (3.8%) are common. About 4.4% of residents speak little or no English, a figure that is much higher than in most areas and has barely changed since 2016.
