Mother tongue by geography, 2021 Census

Note:

Click the “By language” or “By geography” button to view the desired data.

Chart explanation:

The tree map displays hierarchical data that uses nested rectangles to visually represent geographies or languages. Each rectangle is proportional to the data it represents within a population.

The visualization shows the proportion of the population by their mother tongue across multiple geographies.

Each box has a hover functionality that displays the associated language or geography. The colours in the tree map do not have any significance, they are strictly for visual purposes.
