ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2021: language used at home, by Statistical Area Level 2, rolled up to Local Government Area. Change is measured from 2016.

Blank answers matter here. 511 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 2.1%. Count them in and it's 11.4%; drop them from the base and it's 2.3%.

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.
