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: 10.8% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 645 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 15.5%; leaving them out of the population altogether gives 11.4%. 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.
