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.
Other sources sometimes quote 9.5% for Horsham. That figure treats the 1,086 unanswered forms as another language. This page uses 4.2%, and 4.4% is the share among those who answered.
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.
