Language in Cape Otway

Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 17.6% of people here use a language other than English, with Greek being the most common. Despite this, the area is well below the Victorian and national figures for language diversity, and no one reported speaking little or no English.

Lower than 99% of suburb / locality areas.
Share of people who use another language at home and speak English not well or not at all. No 2011 figure — that census only asked proficiency of overseas-born residents.
