- 16 suburbs, ordered by the share speaking another language at home, with the head count underneath.
Figures come from the ABS Census of Population and Housing 2021 (language used at home), aggregated from Statistical Area Level 2 to Local Government Area, with 2016 for comparison.
3.7% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 1,436 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 14.1%; among respondents alone it's 4.1%.
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.
