ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2021: language used at home, by Statistical Area Level 2, rolled up to Local Government Area. Change is measured from 2016.
A note on method: 3,019 residents didn't state a language, and this page doesn't count them as speaking one. That's why 6.2% sits below the 10.7% you'd get by counting every blank, and below 6.5% measured across respondents only.
Figures for Hawkesbury itself aren't affected by the small gap between summed suburbs and ABS national totals. Unnamed ABS categories are in every total and out of every ranked list.
