Blank answers matter here. 313 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 8.6%. Count them in and it's 22.5%; drop them from the base and it's 10.0%.
People with no usual address fall outside any suburb, which is why the national figure here is a fraction under the ABS one. The council figures aren't affected.
