Language in Port Augusta
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About the same as most similar areas, Port Augusta has a small proportion of residents who speak a language other than English at home. While 81% of the population speaks only English, the number of people using other languages has risen to 6.9% since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Only 6.9% of people use another language at home, which is far below the South Australian figure of 17.8%. This low rate is reflected in the fact that very few people—just 0.7%—speak little or no English.
