Language in Fraser
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Far fewer people in Fraser use a language other than English at home compared to the rest of the territory. Only 8.5% of residents speak another language, which is far below the ACT figure of 24.6%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most Australian regions.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is the main language for 89.7% of people. While 0.8% of residents speak little or no English, which is much higher than most areas, this remains a little below the national figure of 3.4%.
