How even is Mid Murray from suburb to suburb?

Tungkillo tops the list, but the spread across 23 suburbs is narrow.

Suburb pages list every language counted in that suburb.

ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2021: language used at home, by Statistical Area Level 2, rolled up to Local Government Area. Change is measured from 2016.

How the headline share is counted: 1.0% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 987 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 11.5%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 1.1%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.

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.
