Language in Mulgrave
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 76.4% of people in Mulgrave. While most residents speak only English, the number of people using another language at home has grown. This trend is partly reflected in the rise of languages like Punjabi and Tagalog within the area.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
