Language in Elsey
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
About 68% of people in Elsey use a language other than English at home, which is far above the national figure. This makes the area one of the most linguistically diverse places in the region. While this trend has dipped slightly since 2011, the use of non-English languages remains very high.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
Around 67.6% of residents speak another language at home, which is far above the Northern Territory's 32.4%. This high diversity is reflected in the fact that 10.1% of people speak little or no English, a figure well above the national average of 3.4%.
