Adelaide suburbs where the most Nepali is spoken at home
Elizabeth Vale has the highest share, at 13.5% of residents. Salisbury and Plympton follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 48 eligible Adelaide suburbs.
This page ranks Adelaide suburbs by the share of residents who speak Nepali at home in the 2021 Census — where the Nepali-speaking community is most concentrated. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are ranked.
Shares are the count of Adelaide residents who speak Nepali at home divided by the suburb's total population, from the ABS 2021 Census language table — the same source as each suburb page's language breakdown. Percentile ranks are computed within Adelaide's pool. Language spoken at home understates a community's full size — it misses Nepali-heritage residents who speak mainly English at home — but it's the cleanest signal of an active community. Descriptive demographic information, not a recommendation.

Common questions about this ranking
Which Adelaide suburbs have the most Nepali spoken at home?
Elizabeth Vale has the highest share, at 13.5% of residents. Salisbury and Plympton follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 48 eligible Adelaide suburbs.
How is this ranking put together?
Each Adelaide suburb is ranked by the share of its residents who speak Nepali at home in the 2021 Census — that count divided by the suburb's total population. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are included, and percentile ranks are computed within Adelaide's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs.
Where does the data come from?
The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census 'language used at home' question — the same source as the language breakdown on each suburb page. Nothing is estimated or inferred about any individual.
Does this capture everyone of Nepali heritage?
No — it counts people who speak Nepali at home, which understates the full community: Nepali-heritage residents who speak mainly English at home aren't counted. It's the cleanest available signal of an active language community, not a complete ancestry measure, and it isn't a recommendation to seek out or avoid anywhere.
How current is it?
The figures are from the 2021 Census, the most recent available until results from the August 2026 Census are released in 2027. The top 15 is recomputed whenever we refresh the census data.
