Language in Mayo
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A massive 18 percentage point gap separates the linguistic makeup of Mayo from the national average. English is the dominant language here, with very few residents using a foreign tongue at home. This pattern has remained almost completely unchanged for over a decade.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 4.2% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far below both the South Australian and national figures. Consequently, the number of people who speak little or no English is very low at 0.3%, and English is spoken by 91.5% of the population.
