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

Each suburb links to its own page, with the languages spoken there.

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. 111 residents gave none, and they're left out of the 0.8%. Count them in and it's 12.5%; drop them from the base and it's 0.9%.

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.
