Language in Elliott
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
More than three in ten people in Elliott speak a language other than English at home. This is far above the national figure, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas at this level, though the proportion of people using other languages has fallen sharply since 2011.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
While 63.1% of residents speak only English, 32.8% use another language at home. This is about the same as the Territory average, but 6.6% of people speak little or no English, which is well above the national figure.
