Which parts of Bogan are most multilingual?

Each suburb links to its own page, with the languages spoken there.

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.

How the headline share is counted: 3.2% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 199 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 11.2%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 3.4%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.

Figures for Bogan itself aren't affected by the small gap between summed suburbs and ABS national totals. Unnamed ABS categories are in every total and out of every ranked list.
