Carnamah, Western Australia
In Carnamah, the 2021 Census counted 2 per cent of residents speaking a language other than English at home, led by Telugu and Spanish. The top two are almost level. That places it 477th of 542 local government areas on the diversity index.
These three top a list of small communities.
Across Western Australia, the share speaking another language is more than double. 15 councils in Western Australia have a lower share.
Same method throughout, so the gap between the bars is the real gap.
Each suburb links to its own page, with the languages spoken there.
Data: ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home, summed from Statistical Area Level 2 to council. Changes are against the 2016 Census.
A note on method: 88 residents didn't state a language, and this page doesn't count them as speaking one. That's why 2.0% sits below the 18.3% you'd get by counting every blank, and below 2.4% measured across respondents only.
Two caveats: summing suburbs leaves out residents with no usual address, so national totals land a little under ABS published figures, and ranked lists leave out broad ABS categories that don't name a language.
