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.

6.3% is the share of all residents who reported a language other than English. The 385 who didn't answer aren't counted as speakers. If they were, the share would be 13.1%; among respondents alone it's 6.8%.

Ranked lists skip broad categories such as "Chinese, nfd", which stay in the totals. National figures are summed from suburbs and sit a touch under the ABS release.
