Dungog, New South Wales
Only fewer than one in 100 residents in Dungog speak a language other than English at home, the 2021 Census shows. Samoan is the one heard most. Only a small margin separates Tagalog from the leader. Fewer than 100 councils have a lower share.
None of these reaches one in 100 residents on its own.
In the City of Sydney, the share speaking another language is more than double. Dungog is 128th of 128 across New South Wales.
Every figure leaves unanswered questions out of the count, so the areas compare like for like.
The share barely changes across 16 suburbs; Paterson is highest.
Every suburb here has a page of its own.
Figures come from the ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021 (language used at home), aggregated from Statistical Area Level 2 to Local Government Area, with 2016 for comparison.
The headline 0.3% counts only residents who named a language other than English. 475 people left the question blank; treat every blank as another language and the figure is 5.0%, while measuring only those who answered gives 0.3%.
Language lists name languages only; residual ABS groups are in the totals. Summed-suburb national totals run a little low.
