- Each percentage is the share of a suburb speaking a language other than English at home, over the number of people. 24 suburbs in all.
Data: ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home, summed from Statistical Area Level 2 to council. Changes are against the 2016 Census.
How the headline share is counted: 3.7% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 1,016 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 8.9%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 3.9%. Higher figures quoted elsewhere usually come from one of those.
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.
