Why we publish this
3.2% of us
We share this portrait because a council below the Victoria average is the one most likely to be planned for as though everybody here reads English. 1,240 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.

In context

- 3.2%
- Victoria
- 26.6%
- Australia
- 21.3%
3.2% of Campaspe residents speak a language other than English at home, against 26.6% for Victoria and 21.3% nationally. Drawn from the 2021 Census.
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home by Statistical Area Level 2, aggregated to Local Government Area. Growth compares 2021 against the 2016 Census.
How the headline share is counted. 3.2% is 1,240 residents as a share of all 38,622 of us. A further 2,664 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 10.1%, which is a larger number and a weaker claim. Measured only across the residents who answered, the share is 3.4%. If you have seen a higher figure quoted for Campaspe, 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 Campaspe 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.
