Blackwood · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Blackwood
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 8.6% of people in Blackwood use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure of 22.3%. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country. While this figure has risen slightly since 2011, English remains the dominant language spoken here.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 89.8% of residents, and very few people—just 0.8%—speak little or no English. This is a little below the South Australian figure of 2.7%, and the most common other languages spoken are Mandarin, Hindi, Greek, and Arabic.
