Language in Hectorville
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Nearly half of all residents in Hectorville use a language other than English at home. This makes the area far more linguistically diverse than the rest of South Australia, where the typical household speaks only English.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 47% of people here speak another language, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This diversity is reflected in the common use of Italian, Mandarin, Punjabi and Greek, and explains why the 6.7% of people who speak little or no English is well above the state average.
