Language in Flinders
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant tongue in Flinders, where only 4.4% of people use another language at home. This is far below the national figure and marks a sharp drop from 16.3% in 2011. Most daily life here happens in English, with very few residents needing language support.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.4% of residents use a language other than English at home, which is much lower than most areas. This trend is reflected in the fact that only 0.3% of people speak little or no English, a figure that is well below the national average and has barely changed since 2016.
