Language in Adelaide Hills
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary language for 90.6% of people in Adelaide Hills. Very few residents use another language at home, and the area has a much lower proportion of non-English speakers than the state and national figures.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Just 5.5% of people use a language other than English at home, a figure that has barely changed since 2011 and is far below the national average of 22.3%. This is consistent with the fact that only 0.4% of residents speak little or no English, which is well below the Australian figure.
