Language in Kingston
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 8.5% of people in Kingston use a language other than English at home, a figure far below the national average. This makes it a very linguistically uniform area where English is the dominant tongue for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 87.9% of the community, and while the number of people using other languages rose 2.2 points since 2011, this remains well below the South Australian figure. Very few residents struggle with English, as only 0.9% speak little or no English.
