- Each percentage is the share of a suburb speaking a language other than English at home, over the number of people. 13 suburbs in all.
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: 746 residents didn't state a language, and this page doesn't count them as speaking one. That's why 1.9% sits below the 7.3% you'd get by counting every blank, and below 2.0% measured across respondents only.
Figures for Northern Midlands itself aren't affected by the small gap between summed suburbs and ABS national totals. Unnamed ABS categories are in every total and out of every ranked list.
