Salisbury · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Salisbury
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than half of the people in Salisbury speak English only, but it is a very diverse area. Around 38.5% of residents use a language other than English at home, a figure that has climbed 15 points since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Language diversity is far above the national figure, with 38.5% of people using a language other than English. This includes Vietnamese, Italian, Arabic and Punjabi, and it helps explain why 11.1% of residents speak little or no English, which is well above the South Australian rate of 2.7%.
