Which suburbs of Cloncurry have the most speakers of other languages?

Suburb pages list every language counted in that suburb.

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: 3.3% is residents who named a language other than English, as a share of everyone. Another 561 didn't answer the question. Counting them as speaking another language would give 18.9%; 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.
