Language in Greenacres
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Over half of the people in Greenacres speak a language other than English at home, a figure far above the national average. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse in the region, with a strong presence of various community languages.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
A striking 50.1% of residents use another language at home, which is far above the 17.8% seen across South Australia. While English is spoken by 46.0% of the area, Punjabi, Hindi, and Mandarin are also common; this helps explain why the 5.9% of people who speak little or no English is well above the state figure.
