The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A growing number of people in Coconut Grove now speak a language other than English at home. Nearly 40% of residents use another language, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse for its size.

English and the largest community languages.
While English is the main language for 50.2% of people, 39.9% speak another tongue, including Punjabi, Greek, and Tagalog. Despite this diversity, the 3.7% who speak little or no English is about the same as the figures for the Northern Territory and Australia.
