Where does Port Adelaide Enfield sit on the map of Australia's languages?
Port Adelaide Enfield shaded by the share of residents speaking a multicultural languageany language other than English at home. Boundaries are ABS ASGS 2021. See every council on one map.
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.
Blank answers matter here. 6,399 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 34.6%. Count them in and it's 39.5%; drop them from the base and it's 36.4%.
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.
