Language in Como
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Much higher rates of non-English language use than most similar areas define Como, though it remains far less diverse than the state average. While 8.8% of residents use a language other than English at home, this is still far below the New South Wales figure of 26.6%.

English is the main language for 89.2% of people, with Mandarin being the most common other language at 1.9%. Only 0.8% of residents speak little or no English, which is a little below the Australian figure of 3.4%.
