- 44 suburbs in East Gippsland. The percentage is residents speaking a language other than English at home; the figure beneath it is how many people that is.
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2021, language used at home by Statistical Area Level 2, aggregated to Local Government Area. Growth compares 2021 against the 2016 Census.
3.1% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 3,664 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 10.7%; among respondents alone it's 3.4%.
National totals here run slightly under ABS published figures, because summing suburbs misses people without a usual address. Broad ABS categories count in the totals but not in the ranked lists.
