Language in Risdon
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English remains the dominant tongue in Risdon, where only 2.9% of people use another language at home. This is far below the national figure and reflects a community with very little linguistic diversity compared to the rest of Australia.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Most residents speak only English, while 2.4% use Punjabi at home. This lack of variety is seen in the fact that no one in the area speaks little or no English, a figure well below the Australian average.
