Language in Tottenham
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the dominant language for nearly everyone in Tottenham, where only 3% of people use another tongue at home. This makes the area far less linguistically diverse than both the state and national averages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 80.6% of residents speak only English, the proportion of people who speak little or no English rose to 1.1% since 2016. This figure is much higher than in most similar areas, even though it remains well below the New South Wales average of 4.5%.
