Language in Valley View
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly 29% of Valley View residents speak a language other than English at home, which is far above the state and national figures. This makes it one of the most linguistically diverse areas of its kind, with a wide variety of languages spoken across the community.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 68.1% of people speak only English, others use languages such as Punjabi, Arabic, and Italian. This diversity is reflected in the fact that 3.5% of residents speak little or no English, a figure much higher than in most other areas.
