Language in Innaloo
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A little more than one in five people in Innaloo speak a language other than English at home, which is a little above the Western Australian figure. This makes the area much more linguistically diverse than most similar places, though it sits slightly below the national average for language diversity.

While 20% of residents use another language at home, English remains the main language for 73.1% of people. Mandarin is the most common non-English language at 3.2%, and the proportion of people who speak little or no English is much higher than most areas at 2.2%.
