Language in Darwin Waterfront Precinct
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A little more than one in four people in the Darwin Waterfront Precinct speak a language other than English at home, which is a little above the national figure. While this is much higher than in most other areas, it sits well below the Northern Territory average. This mix reflects a diverse resident population where English remains the most common tongue.

English and the largest community languages.
About 24.9% of residents use another language at home, with Mandarin (6.1%) and Cantonese (1.7%) being the most common non-English options. Despite this diversity, only 1.0% of people speak little or no English, which is a little below the state and national figures.
1.0% —
Higher than 62% of council (lga) areas.
