Do Devonport's suburbs differ much?

The 10 suburbs differ only a little, with Ambleside highest.

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.

Blank answers matter here. 1,147 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 4.6%. Count them in and it's 9.1%; drop them from the base and it's 4.8%.

Two caveats: summing suburbs leaves out residents with no usual address, so national totals land a little under ABS published figures, and ranked lists leave out broad ABS categories that don't name a language.
