Port Augusta · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Language in Port Augusta
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
English is the primary way of communicating for the vast majority of people in Port Augusta. Only 7.1% of residents use another language at home, a figure that is far below the national average. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of the country.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 80.7% of people speak only English, the use of other languages rose slightly to 7.1% since 2011. Very few people struggle with the dominant language, as only 0.7% speak little or no English, which is a little below the national figure.
