Language in Epsom
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Epsom, though more than one in ten people here speak another language at home. This is much higher than most similar areas, even though it remains far below the Victorian and national figures.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 85.6% of residents speak only English, the 10.9% who use another language at home is a high figure for this type of area. Only 2.1% of people speak little or no English, which is a little below the state and national rates.
