Language in Kangaroo Point
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of the people in Kangaroo Point now speak a language other than English at home, a figure that has climbed significantly since 2011. This makes the area far more linguistically diverse than the rest of the state and the country.

English and the largest community languages.
About 51.2% of residents use another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This diversity is reflected in the common use of Mandarin, Greek, Arabic and Cantonese, and 7.1% of people speak little or no English.
