Frankston · Sub-region (SA3)
Language in Frankston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Frankston, where 83.6% of people use only this language at home. While the number of people speaking other languages has risen slightly since 2011, the area remains much less linguistically diverse than the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 11.3% of residents speak another language at home, which is far below the Victorian figure of 27.6%. This high level of English use is reflected in the fact that just 1.4% of people speak little or no English.
