Fastest-growing among us
Hazaraghi
+7.5% since last census
We share this portrait because a council below the South Australia average is the one most likely to be planned for as though everybody here reads English. 823 of us do not, at home, and a service that reaches everyone except them has not reached everyone. This almanac exists so that the number is on the record before the decision is made.
Hazaraghi grew 7.5% since the last census, to 186 speakers. A community growing at that rate is one whose translation needs are ahead of the last set of figures anyone commissioned.

- 21.3%
9.6% of Naracoorte Lucindale residents speak a language other than English at home, against 16.9% for South Australia and 21.3% nationally. Drawn from the 2021 Census.

How the headline share is counted. 9.6% is 823 residents as a share of all 8,598 of us. A further 599 did not state a language at all, and we do not count them as speaking one — counting every non-response as a non-English speaker would put this figure at 16.5%, which is a larger number and a weaker claim. Measured only across the residents who answered, the share is 10.3%. If you have seen a higher figure quoted for Naracoorte Lucindale, it is almost certainly one of those two.
Two further caveats we would rather state than bury. Summing suburbs omits residents not allocated to one — no usual address, migratory and unincorporated areas — so national totals sit a little under the ABS published figures; the Naracoorte Lucindale figures on this page are unaffected. And ranked language lists exclude ABS residual categories such as “Chinese, nfd”, which are not languages anyone can order a translation in; they remain inside the headline total.
